Jackie Gleason

**Herbert Walton Gleason, Jr.** , kršten kao **John Herbert "Jackie" Gleason** (26. februar 1916 – 24. jun 1987) bio je američki komičar, glumac i muzičar, poznat kao jedna od prvih televizijskih zvijezda u historiji. Nakon neuspjelih pokušaja da se probije u Hollywood, početkom 1950-ih je postao slavan kao voditelj TV-emisije *[[Cavalcade of Stars]]*, a zatim i vlastitog *[[Jackie Gleason Show]]a*. Nakon toga je stvorio *[[The Honeymooners]]*, jednu od najpopularnijih i najuticajnijih sitcomova u historiji, u kome je tumačio lik Ralpha Kramdena. Svoje dramske sposobnosti je iskazao kao igrač biljara Minnesota Fats u poznatom filmu *[[The Hustler (film)|Hazarder]]*, a pred kraj karijere postigao uspjeh kao vulgarni šerif Bufford T. Justice u seriji filmskih komedija *[[Smokey and the Bandit|Smokey i Bandit]]*.
