MINI BIO:
Short, stocky and mustachioed, Henry Armetta, was an Italian-born Hollywood actor who cornered the market in harassed, excitable, voluble foreigners, from the beginnings of the sound era. His early death from a heart attack robbed him of the well-deserved opportunity of carrying a film-filled career through to the end of the studio era. He stowed away on a ship to come to America in 1902.
