Jolley was well-known for being a tall man with large ears and a gap between his front teeth, by both critics and friends alike. He had unruly dark hair that he kept tamed with pomade whenever he was in the public eye. In his later years he had no noticeable wrinkles except for crows feet, which he attributed to "too much happiness".
Personality
Much of Jolley's eccentric personality can be traced back to animator-specific mental health issues that were undiagnosed or unrecognized during his life.

He moved to Hollywood (then Los Angeles, California) at age 19 for unstated reasons, working as an illustrator for pioneering movie tycoon Randolph Witz.
