Ben Turpin
Bernard "Ben" Turpin (September 19, 1869〔 – July 1, 1940) was an American comedian and actor, best remembered for his work in silent films. ==Personal life== Turpin was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on September 19, 1869, the son of a candy store owner.〔His birth date was given as September 19, 1869 but other years were used at various times in his Hollywood publicity material. In the 1900 US Census he used the year "1869", and his death certificate used "1869", and that year will be used here. ''Encyclopædia Britannica'' wrongly lists the year of his birth as "1874". The ''New York Times'' obituary mentions the alternate years as fabrications. His death certificate lists his birthday as "September 19, 1869" and lists his mother's maiden name as "Buckley". The Internet Movie Database lists his birthday properly as "September 19, 1869".〕 Turpin and his first wife, Carrie Le Mieux, an actress, were married in Chicago in 1907. In 1923, Mrs. Turpin became ill with influenza, which caused the loss of her hearing. Heartbroken, Turpin took his seriously ill wife to the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré in Quebec, hoping she would be healed. She eventually became an invalid, with Turpin placing his career on hold to care for her. Carrie died on October 2, 1925. He was a Roman Catholic, and a member of the Good Shepherd Parish and the Catholic Motion Picture Guild in Beverly Hills, California.〔(Church of the Good Shepherd: Our History )〕
