Biographical History

Jane Ace (born Jane Epstein, October 12, 1897, Kansas City, Missouri – died November 11, 1974, New York City), high-voiced, malaprop-mastering wife on the legendary, low-keyed American radio comedy Easy Aces (1930–45). She played herself opposite her real-life husband and the show's creator-writer, Goodman Ace (1899–1982). She delivered clever malapropisms over the air in each episode of the urbane serial comedy, and many became part of the American vernacular. She was well known for her "Jane-isms", such as "Congress is in season", and "I'm a member of the weeper sex."
