Chicago native Shecky Greene, legendary standup comic, lord of Las Vegas, dies at 97
Briefly

"I've never had an act," Greene told the Las Vegas Sun in 2009. "I make it up as I go along."
Sinatra wasn't actually there, Greene later said, but the beatdown was real. Also true was the oft-repeated story of Greene driving his Oldsmobile into the fountains at Caesars Palace in 1968, a consequence of what he conceded was a serious alcohol problem and a dangerous desire to go for a drive when he was a few drinks in.
