Andy Devine's voice (and Rochester's)

"Years later when Andy had become successful doctors said they could perform surgery to render his voice normal again. He thought about it, and like Eddie Anderson 'Rochester,' he knew his voice was his meal ticket, and he declined. The role that we know Andy was most noted for was, Jingles P. Jones, sidekick of Wild Bill Hickcock on radio and later TV."
