Bill Dana (comedian)
William Szathmary (October 5, 1924 June 15, 2017), known as Bill Dana, was an American comedian, actor, and screenwriter. He often appeared on television shows such as ''The Ed Sullivan Show'', frequently in the guise of a heavily accented Bolivian character named José Jiménez.

He was of Hungarian Jewish descent. He took his stage name "Dana" after his mother's first name "Dena" as he felt "Szathmary" was unpronounceable.

Another older brother was Irving Szathmary, compo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
