W.C. Fields, the great 1930s movie comedian and famous misanthrope, died on Christmas, the holiday he despised. Of all the notable quotes that issued from this notorious curmudgeon, the most often quoted, said to be from his California tombstone, is "All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia."

At one time during the late 1930s, MGM considered casting Fields for the role of the Wizard in their Wizard of Oz. The role later went to Frank Morgan.
