"Paramount on Parade with Jack Oakie and Friends" opens November 25. The scene-stealing Academy Award-nominated comedian Jack Oakie (1903 - 1978) was a Paramount Pictures star in early Hollywood. He is perhaps best remembered for his role in Charlie Chaplin's THE GREAT DICTATOR (1940). Highlighted in the exhibition will be items personally owned by Jack Oakie including his extensive photograph and autograph collection of his fellow actors and co-stars (especially those from Paramount). Friends represented in the gallery, are Charles “Buddy” Rogers, Clara Bow, Charlie Chaplin, Cary Grant and others. Buddy Rogers was one of Jack’s closest friends and often held parties at Pickfair. Pickfair artifacts will be on display including Buddy’s wedding certificate to Mary Pickford.
