Ace, Jane, 1900-1974
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). Playing 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. Known for her "Jane-isms".
