Jane Ace
Jane Ace (born Jane Epstein; October 12, 1897 – November 11, 1974) was the high-voiced, malaprop-mastering wife on the legendary, low-keyed American radio comedy Easy Aces (1930–45). Playing herself opposite her real-life husband and the show's creator-writer, Goodman Ace (1899–1982), she delivered clever malapropisms over the air in each episode of the urbane serial comedy, and many became part of the American vernacular. |
