Harold Garrison (known as "Kid Slickem" and "Slicum"), was an amazing part of Hollywood history! He was born in 1901, and in the 1920s, he ran a shoeshine stand at MGM, and was soon called upon to perform in some movies and also to help find black extras. When King Vidor made Hallelujah in 1929, he hired Garrison to be a second director in charge of getting all the black actors needed for the movie, which put him in the highest position at MGM any black person had been in to that time. He still ran his shoeshine stand, and still acted in movies, and later produced some! He is a fascinating part of Hollywood history, and someone should make a movie about him! He passed away in 1974 at the age of 73. AND Jimmy Durante was a legendary actor/comedian from the 1920s to the 1960s. He was memorable for his very large nose, and he was nicknamed "Schnozzola". He started performing in 1916, and in the early 1920s he formed a trio with two black African Americans, Eddie Jackson and Lou Clayton, which was certainly unusual for that time! The trio, known as "Three Sawdust Bums", became a major success, including in vaudeville and on Broadway. The trio broke up in 1931, and Durante was later in movies, TV, and virtually every other form of entertainment (and Eddie Jackson remained his sidekick throughout his career)! Some of his movies include: The Man Who Came to Dinner, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, The Christmas Party, and Two Sisters from Boston. He passed away in 1980 at the age of 86.
