Jimmy Durante
James Francis "Jimmy" Durante (February 10, 1893 – January 29, 1980) was an American singer, pianist, comedian
and actor. His distinctive clipped gravelly speech, comic language
butchery, jazz-influenced songs, and large nose helped make him one of
America's most familiar and popular personalities of the 1920s through
the 1970s. His jokes about his nose included referring to it as a
"Schnozzola", and the word became his nickname.
