Ronald Colman(1891-1958)

He, along with wife Benita Hume, was a frequent guest on Jack Benny's radio show and Benny would frequently refer to them on his television show as well, often in regard to the pretense that the Colmans were his next-door neighbors and wishing forlornly to be allowed into their social circle, invited to their parties, etc. One ongoing gag on the radio show was that he borrowed Colman's Oscar, which was stolen, with Benny making excuses while trying to track it down.

Fame has robbed me of my freedom and shut me up in prison, and because the prison walls are gilded, and the key that locks me in is gold, does not make it any more tolerable.
