Life of Comedian
Ernie Kovacs
LOS ANGELES M* — Ernie
Kovacs, the zany comedian whose
show business career blazed like
a meteor for five bright years,
was killed early today on the way
home from a baby shower.
His station wagon skidded ac
ross wet pavement a half-block
from the Beverly Hilton hotel
and careened into a power pole. (
The impact hurled the 42-year- ,
old actor half way out of the
bashed-in car. The coroner’s of- j
fice, which identified him on
arrival, said he suffered severe
head injuries.
His wife of nine years, actress
Edie Adams, was driving another
car ahead of him but went on to
their $600,000 Bel Air mansion,
unaware that her husband had
been in a wreck. She learned af
terward, from their hosts for the
evening, director Billy Wilder and
his wife. The Wilders had enter
tained a score of filmland guests
at a stork shower in Mrs. Milton
jBerle’s honor.
ivovacs was a national come
dian. One movie director said
Kovacs didn’t need a script. It
was ibest, he said, to give Ko
vacs a minute’s warning and let
him improvise.
Kovacs and his singing star
wife had lived the way folks
used to think movie stars as liv
ing—in a gadget-filled, 17-room
Coldwater Canyon home full of
his collections r armor, antique
lamps, first editions, carvings and
statuary. It boasted such things
as indoor waterfall, a driveway
turntable and a wine cellar . that
took second place to few. ]
Kovacs, the son of a Hungarian
tavern owner at Trenton, N.J.,
had sung in stock companies in
; 4he east and played bit parts be
> fore taking, part In a talent audi
tion on Broadway, Ho hit the
proverbial jackpot. Offers poured
to. And, unpredictably, in the
midst of the furor he went to
work in a drugstore:
Before making the big time
nationally he had made a hit in
east with his Ernie Kovacs TV
Show. His sponsors let him do
pretty much as he pleased. His
final TV special was done with
out words.
-There’s too much talk on TV,”
he said.
Sen. Barry Goldwater
Says U.S. Should
Break Ties with U.N.
BELMONT, Mass, t|> rr- Sen.
Barry Goldwater says there is no
reason why the United States
should continue participation in
the United Nations.
“The idea was wonderful,” he
said, “but the world is not ready
for it.” • T
He said he could see “no reason
to continue pur participation.”
He said he always had been
charitably inclined to the United
Nations, but, he added “since the
Communists can stop any peace
movement, the United Nations
becomes more ineffective.”
