Norm Crosby, comedian who had a (bad) voice with words, dies at 93
In 1982, Mr. Crosbys’ name was, as he might have put it, immobilized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, placed between the stars of Jack Benny and Red Skelton.
Norman Lawrence Crosby was born September 15, 1927 in Boston. Known as a class card, he graduated from Dorchester High School and then studied advertising illustration at the Massachusetts School of Art, but enlisted as a radar operator in the Coast Guard before graduating.
His hearing was permanently damaged by deep charges that exploded while on anti-submarine patrol in the North Atlantic during World War II, although he only noticed hearing problems long after he returned home.
After the war, Mr. Crosby worked in advertising for a women’s shoe retailer in Boston with around 40 stores, before eventually becoming director of advertising. He dabbled in comedy at small New England clubs and restaurants, becoming popular in the area before his opportunity in the Latin Quarter.
He married Joan Foley, a nightclub dancer and former Rockette, in 1967.
Besides his wife, the survivors include their two sons, Andrew and Daniel, and two grandchildren.
In recent years, Mr. Crosby continued to perform on cruise ships and in Las Vegas into his 80s and appeared on television sporadically. He also had small roles in Adam Sandlers Grown Ups 2 and other films.
Mr. Crosby was not the only person known to have misused words: so was the 43rd President, George W. Bush. Mr. Bush’s false statements brought to mind some of Mr. Crosbys’ malaprops, even though they were not part of a routine.
Everyone was saying, Hey! He does your deed, said Mr. Crosby.
