JIMMY DURANTE
INSURANCE: $50,000
BODY PART: NOSE

When a person has a glaring deformity, they usually try and hide it out of embarrassment. But it’s quite the opposite with comedian Jimmy Durante, nicknamed “Schnozzola,” which translates to “big nose.” The degree of fame he achieved from the 1920s up to the 1970s is built upon his titanic nose. He was also remembered for his deep raspy voice when he said “Ha-Cha-Cha-Cha-Cha-Chaaaaa!”.

Sure, people also loved him for his throaty speech laced with his Lower East Side accent, his comic timing, and his jazzy songs. He got even more famous for composing the music for the classic song Inka Dinka Doo in 1934. But it was his colossal nose that really stood out— and as a comic, he was fond of making fun of it. In the 1940s, the multi-talented crooner finally decided to protect his trademark schnoz and insured it for $50,000.
