Jack Webb
John Randolph "Jack" Webb (April 2, 1920 – December 23, 1982), also known by the pen name John Randolph, was an American actor, television producer, director, and screenwriter, who is most famous for his role as Sergeant Joe Friday in the radio and television series, ''Dragnet.'' He was also the founder of his own production company, Mark VII Limited.〔Robert A. Jones, (Jack Webb Doesn't Live Here Anymore ), ''Los Angeles Times'', March 20, 1991〕〔Barbara Thornburg, (Former Palm Springs home of 'Dragnet' star Jack Webb ), ''Los Angeles Times''〕
==Early life==
Webb was born in Santa Monica, California, son of Samuel Chester Webb and Margaret Smith.〔(My Name's Friday: The Unauthorized But True Story of Dragnet and the Films of Jack Webb ) by Michael J. Hayde, Cumberland House Publishing〕 He grew up in the Bunker Hill section of Los Angeles. His father left home before Webb was born, and Webb never knew him. He was raised a Roman Catholic by his Irish and Native American mother. One of the tenants in his mother's boarding house was an ex-jazzman and began Webb's lifelong interest in jazz by giving him a recording of Bix Beiderbecke's "At the Jazz Band Ball".
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Webb lived in the parish of Our Lady of Loretto Church and attended Our Lady of Loretto Elementary School in Echo Park, where he served as an altar boy. He then attended Belmont High School, near downtown Los Angeles and later, St. John's University, Minnesota, where he studied art. In high school, Webb was a student body president. He wrote to the student body in the yearbook, "You who showed me the magnificent warmth of friendship which I know, and you know, I will carry with me forever."〔''Campanile 1938'', Belmont High School, 1938〕 During World War II, Webb enlisted in the United States Army Air Force, but he "washed out" of flight training. He later received a hardship discharge, since he was the primary financial support for both his mother and grandmother.〔''Just the Facts, Ma'am; The Authorized Biography of Jack Webb, Creator of Dragnet, Adam-12, and Emergency!,'' written by Daniel Moyer and Eugene Alvarez.〕
