Cliffton Fadiman Facts
|
|
Clifton Paul Fadiman (1904 – 1999) was an American intellectual, author, editor, radio and television personality. Fadiman became a prime example of the "witty intellectual" type popular on television in the 1950s. John Charles Daly, Bennett Cerf, George S. Kaufman, Alexander King, and a number of other television celebrities personified, along with Fadiman, the highly educated, elegant, patrician raconteurs and pundits regarded by TV executives of that era as appealing to the upper-class owners of expensive early TV sets. Fadiman's witticisms and sayings were frequently printed in newspapers and magazines. (1904 – 1999) |
