Jack Benny photos from UCLA's archives

[DerekVOF]

I've seen on a couple of site today that UCLA’s Department of Special Collections has posted over 5,000 images from the old archives of the LA Times and the original Los Angeles Daily News (1920-1990) at http://unitproj.library.ucla.edu/dlib/l ... uction.cfm

Being the curious one, I of course hopped in and found a few neat shot of Jack:

The one of Gracie's funeral is heartbreaking. I've never seen that before, thanks for posting.

The photo of Gracie's funeral says so much....

A powerful photograph. A reminder that Jack Benny and George Burns know and share the very same heartbreak we experience. This is obvious, I know... yet in a way a comforting reminder.
