		She and Bill pull the last suitcase off the conveyer belt and make their way back to William and me. Insisting on carrying the lion's share of luggage, Bill is out of breath by the time we arrive at his minivan.

		Dana reminds Bill that an inadequately anchored seat is useless, while Bill insists he's certainly experienced with car seat installation and would she please give him a little room.

		Bill woke up, walked past Starbucks, slipped inside the warm embrace of bacon-egg-and-cheese aroma, and wrapped his hands around a cup of fl coffee, while sitting at a high-chair that looked into the street - the coffee and the view being the only thing he ever had for breakfast.
		Bill had, from that moment on, felt an instant, empathetic connection to the tortured creature, a connection that centered on a mutual distrust of corporate coffee.
		Dana stood up, placed her palms against the sink, on either side of the fountain, gave her head to gravity, and let her hair fall into the moist ceramic sink, cascading like silken waterfall over the back of her neck.

	Eject! Eject! Eject!: February 2005 Archives
		Bill reported in again on the radio, this time eight miles out, and was cleared to land, all before I finally spotted him—well, his flying machine anyway—as he appeared from out of the haze.
		Bill, Dana and I got up in time to shower, dress and pack before my sister arrived to take us to The Fox (her workplace was only a mile or two from the airport), and the Grand Finale Day was underway.
		Bill never saw the traffic himself—three o’clock, nine o’clock, whatever—but his instantaneous response not only saved our lives, but probably ensured that the separation was sufficient to keep the proximity legal, and thereby kept the lackadaisical controller out of trouble as well.

	allmusic ((( Bill Dana > Biography )))
		Despite a successful career under his own name, the true legacy of actor/comedian Bill Dana remains Jose Jiminez, a character introduced on The Steve Allen Show which went on to become one of the most beloved comic creations of the era.
		Dana made his recording debut in 1960 with My Name...Jose Jiminez, an album split between clips from The Steve Allen Show and a sketch built around a press conference.
		The program, which cast Jose as a hotel bellhop, ran through 1965, at which point it was clear its star wanted to move on to new projects; the 1964 LP Bill Dana in Las Vegas, while featuring some Jose material, also included routines not performed from the character's perspective.

		One of Bill's masterful creations, Jose Jiminez(dressed as an astronaut) was once asked, "Is that a crash helmet?" To which he replied, "I hope not." He is as much a writer as he is a comedian, often creating material for other comedians such as Don Adams of Get Smart fame.
		Dana, is proud to release a 2 disc DVD set containing 6 of Bill’s most memorable performance as Jose Jimenez on THE BILL DANA SHOW" These shows will be available late August 2005.

	Dana vs. Bill
		He's had such a horrible life, Bill, but despite abduction, torture, the loss of every single person he loved, and sights which would give YOU nightmares for the rest of your natural life, he has managed to maintain a playful humor, a hunger for knowledge, and a passion for justice.
		Bill Scully should be more of an asshole/less of an asshole 2.
		I think she does protest a bit too much, and yes, she does want to go to Mulder "flush with victory" as Bill pointed out, but she is still lucid enough to realize that she doesn't want to break her happiness buzz once it starts.

		He was confused and clueless, but also resourceful and crafty; he had a stereotypically huge family back home, but he supported them faithfully through the sweat of his own brow; he worked as a salaried servant of the wealthier residents of the hotel, but he often proved kinder and smarter than his social superiors.
		The fact that Dana was not himself Hispanic intensified developing claims that the character was a racist representation.
		Dana's presence on American TV waned after the retirement of the Jose Jimenez character, though he did continue to play occasional parts in TV series into the 1970s.

	"The Bill Dana Show" (1963) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Dana got so much mileage from this one character that he became one of those performers - other examples are Paul Rubens (Pee Wee Herman) and Don Novello (Father Guido Sarducci) - entirely known to the public in the guise of one fictional character, rather than in his own right.
		Bill Dana remained firmly in character as Jose Jimenez, who for purposes of this sitcom was a bellboy in a California hotel.
		It might be interesting to release one episode of 'The Bill Dana Show' on home video - mostly for its curiosity value, and to give us a glimpse of Don Adams and Jonathan Harris before their stardom - but this series as a whole was poorly written and unfunny.

	VIBE.com: Music Search
		Born William Szathmary in Quincy, Massachusetts on October 5, 1924, Dana began his career as a writer after a severe back injury temporarily derailed his performing aspirations.
		The sketch proved immediately popular with audiences, and soon Dana graduated from the writing staff to the role of featured performer; although he created a number of characters of varying ethnic backgrounds, the naive, good-natured Jose -- complete with the trademark opening line "My name...Jose Jiminez -- remained the program's consensus favorite.
		Given that Dana himself was of Hungarian Jewish descent, there was considerable controversy over the perceived stereotyping of his characterization, but in actuality Jose Jiminez was about not ethnic humor so much as satirizing American culture on the whole.
