Historical Data	Jack Benny, born Benjamin Kublesky, was a comedian and vaudeville performer as well as a radio, television and film actor. He was one of the biggest radio stars, becoming an enormously successful national figure with a weekly radio show called "The Jack Benny Program" that ran from 1932 to 1955 (on NBC and CBS respectively). The television version of "The Jack Benny Program", which ran from 1950 to 1965 proved to be immensely successful as well. In early December of 1974, Benny was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer; he died on December 26 and two days later was interred in a crypt at Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery in Culver City. Jack Benny received three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: Motion Picture (6650 Hollywood Blvd,), Radio (1505 Vine St.), and Television (6370 Hollywood Blvd.)
