Trivia

Comedy partner of Bert Wheeler.

Soon after the death of his friend and partner Robert Woolsey in October of 1938 Bert Wheeler announced plans for a nonfiction book to be entitled "We Girdle the Globe". The book was to be dedicated to Woolsey and made up of direct quotes from a 12,000 word diary that Wheeler and Woolsey wrote together during a trip around the world in 1933. Apparently no such book was ever published.

In the 1930s Robert Woolsey had a pet dog named Mutt.

In a September 1937 article, Robert Woolsey named Jack Dempsey, John Barrymore, and jockey Ted Sloan as his idols.
