There were three versions of Charlie McCarthy, Edgar Bergen's most famous character. One of the wooden "dummies" is in the Smithsonian Institution; the second occupies a place of honor at the Museum Of Broadcast Communications in Chicago. The third is owned by magician David Copperfield who purchased it at an auction for $110,000.

Bergen and his alter ego McCarthy were given top billing in several films, including the Technicolor extravaganza "The Goldwyn Follies" (1938), opposite the Ritz Brothers. At the height of their popularity in 1937, Bergen was presented an Honorary Oscar (in the form of a wooden Oscar statuette, the only wooden Oscar given so far) for his creation of Charlie McCarthy.

W.C. Fields became a big hit on radio, especially on Bergen's radio program, where he had a long-running feud with McCarthy. "You Can't Cheat an Honest Man" (1939) was an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of that discord by having it carried on in a movie. Each morning of filming, Fields called a cast meeting. In the beginning, Bergen would bring along McCarthy, who would become so disruptive during these sessions that Fields banned him from attending future meetings.

Bergen was not a technically skilled ventriloquist, and McCarthy frequently twitted him for moving his lips. However, Bergen's sense of comedic timing was superb, and he handled Charlie's snappy dialog with aplomb. Bergen's popularity as a ventriloquist on radio, where the trick of "throwing his voice" was not visible, suggests his appeal was primarily the personality he applied to his characters.

Happy Birthday, Edgar Bergen!
