Jack Haley Career

Career

Haley, a singer-and-dance comedian, was featured in vaindeville as a vain source. Fred Allen, one of his closest friends, would often refer to "Mr. Jacob Haley of Newton Highlands, Massachusetts," on the radio. Haley produced just a few phonograph records in 1923, and Haley appeared in comedy shorts for Vitaphone in Brooklyn, New York, in the 1930s. His wide-eyed, good-natured demeanor gained him roles in musical feature films, including Poor Little Rich Girl with Shirley Temple, Higher and Higher with Frank Sinatra and Alexander's Ragtime Band. By the Twentieth Century-Fox, both Poor Little Rich Girl and Alexander's Ragtime Band were released. Haley was under contract with them and appeared in the Fox films Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm and Pigskin Parade, marking his first appearance with Judy Garland. The Jack Haley Exhibition on television from 1937 to 1939, many in the United Kingdom as the Jack Haley Exhibition. Log Cabin Syrup sponsored the show in the first season (1937-1938) and was referred to as The Log Cabin Jamboree. Wonder Bread sponsored the show for the next season (1938-1939). Gale Gordon and Lucille Ball were regular radio performers during the second season of the show.

In the 1940s, Haley returned to musical comedies. The bulk of his '40s work was for RKO Radio Pictures.' He left the studio in 1947 when he refused to appear in a remake of RKO's Seven Keys to Baldpate. Phillip Terry was hired to play the role. He then went back to real estate, appearing in guest roles in television shows for the next two decades.

After suffering a fatal reaction after inhaling aluminum powder from his silver face paint, which caused a congenital bronchial disorder, metro-Goldwyn-Mayer hired Haley for the role of The Wizard of Oz's contracted song-and-dance comedian Buddy Ebsen's congenital bronchial disorder; the smoke settled in Ebsen's lungs, and within a few days of initial photographic testing, he found himself struggling to breathe. The dust was converted into a paste for Haley, which prevented the same disaster from happening—but even so, the paste caused an eye infection that sidelined Haley for four days. Haley's eyes were spared from permanent or irreversibly harm after surgery. Haley also portrayed Hickory Twicker, one of Aunt Em and Uncle Henry's farmhands, in the Tin Man's Kansas counterpart.

Haley did not recall the makeup or costume fondly. When Tom Snyder talked to many people about the film, he said it was a good time. "It's like hell," Haley said.

It was work!"

Haley, the Tin Woodman, spoke in the same soft tone he used when teaching bedtime stories to his children. Oz was one of only two films made for MGM by Haley. Pick a Star, a 1937 Hal Roach production sold by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, was the other.
