Interesting that one of Jack Benny’s Lawyers was Colonel William J. (Wild Bill) Donovan, head of the OSS in WWII.
One of his other lawyers, Walter Thayer was on the legal staff of the Lend-Lease Administration, the War Shipping Administration and the Foreign Economic Administration during WWII. later purchased the NY Herald Tribune.
Carl Newton was one of Donovan’s law partners and was the Deputy Coal Administrator in the Roosevelt administration during WWII.
Lloyd Wright was also a member of the Roosevelt administration but I can’t find any info on him, either in association with Donovan or Jack Benny. All I can find is a reference to a letter written to him regarding the internment of the Japanese in WWII.
It looks like Jack Benny had a first class legal team. They probably cost him more than the fine.
