Al St. John portrait

Other

Trademark in early comedies was his missing teeth on upper left side. Later on Al wore dentures for a more subtle look to suit the comedy style of the 1920s. In the 40s Westerns became immensely popular and Al created the famous Fuzzy Q Jones - once again he could take advantage of his appearance to amplify the character.
