Comments: Jack Whiting (born Albert Draper Whiting, Jr. on June 22, 1901, and died February 15, 1961) was an American actor, singer and dancer whose career ran from the early 1920s through the late 1950s, playing leading men or major supporting figures. He performed in over 30 musicals on Broadway, including Stepping Stones (19231924), Hold Everything! (19281929), Take A Chance (19321933), Hooray for What! (19371938), Hold On to Your Hats (19401941), Hazel Flagg (1953) and The Golden Apple (1954). As a dancer, his talent was likened to Fred Astaire's and Gene Kelly's. He starred in London's West End premieres of Anything Goes (19351936) and On Your Toes (1937), and recorded medleys from these shows while in England. As a singer, he enjoyed great success with a few hit songs, such as "You're the Cream in My Coffee" (1928), "I've Got Five Dollars" (1931), and "Every Street's A Boulevard In Old New York" (1953). Whiting also starred in a handful of films during the 1930s, including the British musical Sailing Along (1938) with Jessie Matthews, and the American comedy Give Me a Sailor (1938) with Martha Raye, Bob Hope and Betty Grable. He featured in a dozen popular television shows in the 1950s, as his career drew to a close.
