Many actors feel honored to be a part of just one project that becomes a classic- but imagine being a part of two?
The classic Miracle on 34th Street comes to its conclusion because the post office, a federal government agency, decides to send letters addressed to Kris Kringle or Santa Claus to the man on trial for being senile for declaring himself to be Santa Claus. Since the federal government was essentially declaring that Kris Kringle was Santa Claus by sending the letters to Macy's, the judge gets the out he needs to complete the case. The actor portraying the postal employee who decides to forward the letters to Macy's Santa Claus was played by Jack Albertson in one of his earliest roles.
Years later, a more mature Jack would play the role he would become best known for- Grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
