From vaudville to radio, TV and movies Jimmy's talent and personality brought him fans from around the world.

"Mrs. Calabash!" by: rsh
@ 11:54:59 pm on April 16 2009
According to the book, "Hollywood Trivia," (Greenwich House, 1984), by David P. Strauss, Jimmy Durante's famous "Mrs. Calabash" sign-off referred to his first wife, Jeanne Olson. Calabash was the name of a Chicago suburb they both liked.
