Jack Smith (columnist)

Jack Clifford Smith (August 27, 1916–January 9, 1996) was a journalist, author, and newspaper columnist who wrote about Los Angeles during its period of greatest growth and increasing influence. His ''Los Angeles Times'' column, which ran for 37 years, chronicled or poked gentle fun at Los Angeles, his family and himself in an urbane, witty style that became a defining voice for the booming city. Throughout his long tenure as a Times columnist, he came to be closely associated with the city, as Herb Caen was to San Francisco or Mike Royko to Chicago. He was the author of 10 books, many of them based on his columns, and won the Los Angeles chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists' Distinguished Journalist award in 1981.
==Early years==
Smith was born in Long Beach on Aug. 27, 1916, grew up in Bakersfield and Los Angeles, and spent some time in the Civilian Conservation Corps before joining the United States Merchant Marine at age 21. He went into journalism, first for the ''Bakersfield Californian'', then for the ''Honolulu Advertiser'', United Press, the ''Sacramento Union'', the ''San Diego Daily Journal'', the ''Daily News'', ''Independent'' and ''Herald-Express'', before joining the ''Los Angeles Times'' in June 1953.
He remained with the ''Times'' until his death. He got to the ''Honolulu Advertiser'' by working his way there on a passenger ship. During World War II, he joined the Marine Corps and was a combat correspondent who took part in the assault on Iwo Jima, going ashore with his rifle but without his typewriter, which had been lost at sea. At Belmont High School in Los Angeles, Smith served as editor of the student newspaper, the ''Belmont Sentinel''.
