Ray Nazarro is not Nat Nazarro edit

Despite what IMDB says, Ray Nazarro was probably never known as Nat Nazarro. Nat Nazarro (Q82817651) was a vaudeville performer and talent agent who represented Buck and Bubbles among other acts. This would explain why he associated with the shorts In and Out and Darktown Follies. I've found no evidence in reliable sources that Ray Nazarro was ever called Nat. However, Nat Nazarro, Jr. (Q82808056) (ca.1904-1982), adopted son of the talent agent, has a similar lifespan as Ray, and may have been conflated with him by some databases. Note confusion discussed here. The Internet Broadway Database, itself an unreliable source, also appears to conflate Nat Jr. and Sr. --Animalparty! (talk) 00:08, 18 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
