    I was walking along seventh Ave. some time ago and there he was out in the street in front of Carnegie Deli, "arguing", or essentially doing a schtick for a cop to try to stop him giving a ticket to his buddy for illegally parking, the shoulders shrugging and the hands palms up, going ey, cmon! I don't know if the ticket was written, but the young cop had his pad out, threatening to do so, but, he wasn't writing and had a little smile on his face, probably enjoying this audience with a master. Jackie had the skin color of someone who hadn't seen the light of day in years. I'm guessing he didn't spend a lot of time in Miami.

    Loved him in The Jerk.

    Funny Jew. Sometimes he was even too Jewish for the jews. RIP, Mr. Maza

    That was his element, for sure.
