Timeline
A friend, and frequent critic, of several U.S. Presidents, Rogers once visited Warren G. Harding (1865-1923, President 1921-1923) and said, "'Morning, Mr. President! Would you like to hear the latest political jokes?" Harding replied, "You don't have to, Will. I appointed them."
World-famous, widely popular American humorist of the vaudeville stage and of silent and sound films, Will Rogers graduated from military school, but his first real job was in the livestock business in Argentina, of all places. He transported pack animals across the South Atlantic from Buenos Aires to South Africa for use in the Boer War (1899-1902). He stayed in Johannesburg for a short while, appearing there in Wild West shows where he drew upon his expertise with horse and lasso.
Rogers had four children with wife, Betty. They were: Fred (died 1920), Mary (died 1989), Will Rogers Jr.. (died 1993) and Jimmy Rogers (died 2000).
In 1922 his weekly articles for the "New York Times" became so popular that they appeared in more than 500 U.S. newspapers daily. The articles dished out down-to-earth, biting criticism of politics, politicians, big business and the imbalance of the wealthy and the poor. In all, Rogers wrote more than 2,800 daily articles up until his death. H.L. Mencken labeled him "the most dangerous man alive" because of the power his comments had on an adoring public.
Served as Honorary Mayor of Beverly Hills, California, from 1926-1928.
As host of the 1933 Academy Awards ceremony, he made a minor blunder when announcing the Best Director Award. After reading the nominees he told the winner, "Come and get it, Frank!" Frank Capra (nominated for Lady for a Day (1933)) was halfway to the podium before he realized Rogers meant Frank Lloyd (winner for Cavalcade (1933)). Capra could well afford to lick his wounds: He won the following year for It Happened One Night (1934) and became Academy President the year after that.
Made his last public appearance on the stage of the California Theater in San Bernardino, CA. A small bronze plaque on the wall of the theater's entrance commemorates that appearance, stating, "On August 15, 1935, Will Rogers made his last public appearance on the stage of this theater." It is there to this day.
Pictured on a 3¢ US postage stamp in the Famous Americans series, issued 4 November 1948.
Was portrayed by his son, Will Rogers Jr.., in the movie, The Story of Will Rogers (1952).
Charter member of the Hall of Great Westerners of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 1955.
Pictured on a 15¢ US commemorative postage stamp in the Performing Arts and Artists series, 4 November 1979.
Inducted into The National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum Hall of Fame in 2011.
