Cantinflas(1911-1993)

Despite the fact that Cantinflas died a millionaire several times over, and was one of the biggest stars ever in Spanish language films, he never forgot where he came from. Much of his money was given over to charitable work, including high-quality, low-income housing for Mexico City's poor. When he died, he was hailed as a national hero, and a protracted period of official mourning followed.

I think comedians have something very serious inside. They see both sides of life. But they prefer to look at the happy side - and to make happy the people.
