"Everybody is insecure to a degree. My business is composed of a mass of crisis. It all adds up to the manufacturing of insecurity."

Jackie Gleason holds forth at Toots Shor's, December 1954. A great photo by Leonard McCombe.
Jackie Gleason cracks up Toots Shor, in another shot by Leonard McCombe for Life magazine, 1954. Gleason was a funny guy, but in Shor's business it never hurts to laugh at your customers' jokes.
Leonard McCombe's Jackie Gleason portraits - thoughtful or manic - are outstanding. These are from 1954.
