James Francis “Jimmy” Durante (February 10, 1893 – January 29, 1980) was an American singer, pianist, comedian and actor, whose distinctive gravel delivery, comic language butchery, jazz-influenced songs, and large nose — his frequent jokes about it included a frequent self-reference that became his nickname: "Schnozzola" — helped make him one of America's most familiar and popular personalities of the 1920s through the 1970s.
"Why can't everybody leave everybody else the hell alone."
"Be nice to people on your way up because you meet them on your way down."
Can you say, Schnozzola and Inka Dinka Dee?
