"What?"

"Stop. Eating. My. Sesame. Cake!"

Oh, wait, that's Herkermer Homolka. I always get those two confused ...; February 21, 2011 at 6:45 PM

Ginger Ingenue said...: I was gonna guess Oscar Levant, but that's a silly guess considering Hammerstein's first name was Oscar. If only someone had told me Hammerstein's first name was Oscar...then I would have known it! ;); February 22, 2011 at 12:36 AM

Mythical Monkey said...: Turns out Oskar Homolka was nominated for one Oscar, as supporting actor in the 1948 movie I Remember Mama. Didn't win though.

He did receive a lifetime achievement award from the German Film Awards in 1967 ...; February 22, 2011 at 9:09 PM
