It was that old vaudeville vibe, there was something about that that didn't leave him.

He also just has one of the most fascinating life stories. Too bad they will never be able to find an actor good enough or attractive enough to play him in a biopic. Never.

Prime Clooney could've pulled it off. *

Clooney in "O Brother Where Art Thou?" and Pitt in "Snatch" are two of the best comedic performances ever.
Yep. It would be absolutely impossible

How would you even find anyone with that chin?

One of the many great things is how he never took himself seriously. On that famous chin, in "Charade", Audrey Hepburn asks him, "How do you shave in there?"
I have always wondered that myself *
