Jack Benny (real name Benjamin Kubelsky) was married to Sayde Marks (better known as Mary Livingstone, the character she played on her husband's radio show) for 48 years.

Their marriage was far from perfect: She was a sharp-tongued, demanding, vain woman, and he was a philanderer. (After his death, his widow claimed Benny's signature gesture of holding one hand to the side of his face came about from his attempting to conceal scratch marks she inflicted after he fielded a phone call from one of his female admirers.)

Yet despite her shortcomings (and his), Jack loved his wife and was devoted to her. As Benny's widow reported to McCalls magazine shortly after her husband died in December 1974, the entertainer's will specified that one red rose be delivered to her for as long as she lived.

"Every day since Jack has gone the florist has delivered one long-stemmed red rose to my home. I learned that Jack actually had included a provision for the flowers in his will. One red rose to be delivered to me every day for the rest of my life."

Sayde passed away in June 1983. The Bennys are interred next to each other in the Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery in Culver City, California.
