'''Jesse White''' (January 4, 1917 – January 9, 1997) was an [[United States|American]] [[television]], [[film]], and [[theatre|stage]] [[character actor]]. He is best remembered for portraying the [[Maytag Corporation|Maytag]] repairman in television commercials, a role he played from 1967 to 1988. |
|||
==Life and career== |
|||
White was born as '''Jesse Marc Weidenfeld''' in [[Buffalo, New York]], and was raised in [[Akron, Ohio]]. He made his first amateur appearance in local stage productions at the age of 15. Though aspiring to be an actor, he worked at many different jobs during the 1930s, including selling beauty supplies and lingerie. After moving to [[Cleveland]], Ohio, Jesse began a career in vaudeville and burlesque, traveling widely before landing a role on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]]. In 1942, White made his Broadway debut in ''[[The Moon is Down]]'', followed by a successful performance in the role of a [[Sanatorium|sanitarium]] orderly in the popular play ''[[Harvey (play)|Harvey]]''. He would later reprise his role in the [[1950 in film|1950]] [[Harvey (film)|film version]] and the 1972 [[television movie]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wc06.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=2:75882~T1 |title=Jesse White Biography |accessdate=2008-01-09 |author= Erickson, Hal}}</ref> |
|||
In 1947, White made his film debut in a small part in ''[[Kiss of Death (1947 film)|Kiss of Death]]''. During the 1950s, he began landing roles on television shows, including appearances in [[Danny Thomas]]'s ''[[Make Room for Daddy]]'' and [[Peter Lawford]]'s ''[[Dear Phoebe]]''. In 1954, he landed a semiregular role on ''[[Private Secretary (TV series)|Private Secretary]]'', starring [[Ann Sothern]], [[Ann Tyrrell]], and [[Don Porter]]. The role led to another semiregular part as the deceitful Oscar Pudney in ''[[The Ann Sothern Show]]'' in 1960. White guest-starred on ''[[Four Star Playhouse]]'' and ''[[The Bob Cummings Show]]''. He also appeared in roles in ''[[The Bad Seed (film)|The Bad Seed]]'' (1956); ''[[Designing Woman]]'' (1957), with [[Lauren Bacall]]; and ''[[Marjorie Morningstar (film)|Marjorie Morningstar]]'' (1958), with [[Natalie Wood]] and [[Gene Kelly]]. |
|||
In the 1960s, White also appeared on ''[[Perry Mason]]'', ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'', ''[[The Dick Van Dyke Show]]''; ''[[The Donna Reed Show]]''; ''[[Mickey (TV series)|Mickey]]'', starring [[Mickey Rooney]]; ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies]]''; ''[[The Munsters]]''; ''[[The Addams Family]]''; ''[[That Girl]]''; and ''[[I Dream of Jeannie]]''. In a memorable cameo, he played a frustrated airport tower controller (alongside a hilarious Paul Ford, Carl Reiner & Eddie Ryder) in ''[[It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World]]''. In 1966, he accepted the role of Donelli in [[The Reluctant Astronaut]], playing a curmudgeonly janitorial supervisor who instructed his students in the use of a mop in a deadpan delivery rivaling that of an aerospace engineer. In a short but memorable performance, he routinely castigated [[Don Knotts]]'s bumbling character Roy Fleming for his "lack of dedication" to cleaning floors. An advertising director who saw his performance on the film's release soon cast him in a television advertising campaign for the [[Maytag Corporation]]. White played the role of a lonely Maytag repairman, a man with nothing to do as a result of his company's reputation for dependable products. In one of the campaign's first spots, White's character unmistakably alluded to his former role as 'Donelli': ''"At ease men! Now, you men have all volunteered to be Maytag Repairmen and so I'm gonna give it to you straight. Maytag washers and dryers are built to last. That makes the Maytag Repairman the loneliest guy in town!''"<ref>[http://www.tvacres.com/admascots_maytag.htm ''Advertising Mascots: People; The Maytag Man''] TVAcres.com (2009)</ref> The campaign proved wildly successful, and the actor began a long-running and highly-paid career as the ever-lonely Maytag repairman. While reprising his Maytag repairman role, White continued appearing in both television and films during his many years as the Maytag repairman. His final film role was a small but pivotal role in the 1993 [[Joe Dante]] comedy ''[[Matinee]]'' starring [[John Goodman]], and his last TV role was in an episode of ''[[Seinfeld]]'' in 1996. |
|||
White was also a member of the stellar band of voiceover actors who voiced [[Stan Freberg]]'s classic lampoon of American history, ''[[Stan Freberg Presents The United States of America: Volume One The Early Years]]'', and thirty-five years later, "The Middle Years." In addition to film and television work, White lent his voice to such cartoons as ''[[Jonny Quest (TV series)|Jonny Quest]]'', ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'', and ''[[Inspector Gadget]]''. |
|||
In 1942, White married Celia Cohn (July 17, 1914 - August 5, 2003).<ref>http://www.tributes.com/show/Celia-White-6308462</ref> The couple had two daughters, [[Carole Ita White]] (who later became an actress) and Janet Jonas.<ref>{{cite news|last=Saxon|first=Wolfgang|title=Jesse White, 79, an Actor and the Maytag Repairman|publisher=''New York Times''|date=1997-01-11|url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A0CE0DB1438F932A25752C0A961958260|accessdate=2008-01-09}}</ref> |
