Jimmy Durante – Nose


Have you ever seen a picture of Jimmy Durante? He has a prominent nose that has helped him achieve success as an actor, comedian, singer, and pianist. Sure, some people might poke fun at him for it, but it has become Jimmy’s trademark and he is quite proud of it to boot. The actor has, more than once, referred to it as a schnozzola, which is an Italian term for big nose.

Aside from its size, Jimmy also often uses his nose as the subject of his jokes-much to the delight of his audiences. He understood that his nose is his biggest asset when it comes to his career, which is why he decided to take out an insurance policy for it amounting to $8 million.
