	Notable Backuses
		Backus was one of the original promoters of the House telegraph system, and these interests demanding much of his time, he abandoned the book concern, and in 1850 removed to New York city in order to be at the centre of business operations.
		Backus was placed, on behalf of the stockholders of the New York Central railroad, upon an examining committee, to inspect the road's financial affairs and general management.
		Backus was constrained by impaired health to forego much of his earlier activity, yet his earnest interest in affairs, his valuable advice and his benefactions kept his name prominent.

	Jim Backus: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		Oddly enough, though Backus was known around Hollywood as one of the funniest guys around, it was a very long time before producers would consider casting him in anything other than straight dramatic roles.
		Backus would return to reprise his role of the stuffy and tipsy millionaire on subsequent 'reunion' tv movies throughout the 70 s and early 80s after the series left the air in first run episodes.
		But the notoriety Backus achieved by his role on Gilligan's Island was not the only 'role' he was strongly identified with, for in 1959, he had lent his vocal talents playing an outrageously nearsighted cartoon character named Mister Magoo.

		Jim isn't really dangerous; he's troubled, disturbed by his father's spinelessness (overdramatized a bit by having Backus wear an apron in one scene), and the general teenage feeling that life is meaningless and frightening.
		Jim also meets Plato (Sal Mineo), whose father lives elsewhere; Plato is small, delicate and child-like; he's drawn to Jim both as a father figure and maybe homosexually, though this is very discreet -- it is the 1950s, after all.
		Jim is attracted to Judy, and also would like to be considered one of the guys by Buzz and his bunch.

		Jim is the new kid in town, and it appears that the Starks left their previous home because Jim was causing trouble there, too.
		Jim’s other new friendship is with the mysterious Plato, a fey loner who buzzes around on an Italian scooter and suffers the insults of the cool kids.
		The battles between Jim and Buzz begin, first with a dramatic knife fight on the balcony of the Griffith Park Observatory and later with an exciting drag race on the cliffs that ends in disaster.

		Backus, aside of his immense film career, is that he was also a writer.
		With the collaboration of his wife, Henny, he wrote, What Are You Doing After The Orgy (which is comprised of numerous, and often hilarious stories of his and Henny’s domestic and professional lives), and Rocks On The Roof (similar in content, and offers a lot of insight into the post-vaudeville days of entertainment).
		Although Jim Backus wrote a few more books that I am aware of, these two books remain on my list of favorites and are available through Amazon.com.
