Look, Danny Thomas had the BIGGEST hooked nose I've ever seen....it's NOT a religous thing. Actually it's almost a "place on earth" thing. Lots of Middle Eastern people have noses like that....geesh.
This is akin to pointing out that Irish people have FRECKLES and RED HAIR!! FAIR peopel need to GET A LIFE.
No, when someone talks about somebody "making a living" off of their "hooked nose," unless that person is a professional circus freak, the "hooked nose" is symbolic for something larger--namely, Jewish descent.
Oh, hell, now you tell me Danny Thomas isn't Jewish? OK. I give up. I ain't guessing any more celebrities "J factors."
I guess some people care who's Jewish and who ain't, but except for their clergy, I can't imagine who.
