biography
Presenting himself as a real-life Italian baron, Gennaro Curci arrived in Hollywood along with his wife Elvira Curci (1900-1984). Both Curcis appeared as Hollywood dress extras, the imposing-looking Gennaro often as a major domo or maƮtre d'. In the romantic comedy I Met Him in Paris (1937), Curci -- the very picture of a proper waiter -- has a memorable encounter with Claudette Colbert's New York fashion designer. Curci: "You have the ask to wish for you me pleasure?" Colbert: "I have the ask to wish for you me pleasure?" Curci: "Yes! I am the waiter speaking who American. Okey dokey?"
