We Love Danny DeVito
If you started reading the FFFW early on, you know I’m a fan of Danny DeVito. Not only is he an icon, BUT he also used to do hair-dressing for funeral homes. This makes him one of the most successful former funeral professionals around. So in honor of him being relevant in the space and me not having anything else to write about, I gladly present:
THE FFFW’S LIST OF DANNY DEVITO FUN FACTS AND QUOTES!
“I’ve been to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It’s a tower, and it’s leaning. You look at it, but nothing happens, so then you look for someplace to get a sandwich.”
– Danny DeVito
1) Danny stands at 4’10”.
“Everybody needs money. That’s why they call it money.”
– Danny DeVito
2) He’s been the victim of three widespread “death-hoaxes” where people spread a rumor that a celebrity has died.
“Of course I’ve got lawyers. They are like nuclear weapons, I’ve got em ’cause everyone else has. But as soon as you use them they screw everything up.”– Danny DeVito
3) Before he starred in “Taxi” he was a valet driver in Hollywood.
