Jimmy Durante?
What is the appeal of this (by then dead) performer?
Why is he featured/worshipped so much in this movie?
What does he have to do with the plot/lesson(s) that this movie is (allegedly) trying to teach its' audience?

First of all he's one great American Classic but I guess his song helps Celeste realize her humanity by showing how common it is to want to be at a place where u can't stay at and having to deal with hard decisions. In her planet everything is easy and uncomplicated and she becomes a human when she becomes tangled in all human things, just like Jimmy.

The only reason I can think that the memory of Jimmy Durante is featured in the movie, is the appropriate lyrics of his song to Celeste's predicament on Earth:-
"Did you ever have the feeling that you wanted to go, and then you had the feeling that you wanted to stay."
