I Don't Do It Often, But I

When I Was A Young Actor I Was In A Lot Of Film Doing One Day Work And Two Days' Work, And They've Included All Those Titles, Which I Don't Even Remember. I Think I've Played The Lead In About 75 Movies.

The Three Actors I Admire The Most Are All Dead. Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy And The French Actor, Jean Gabin. They're All Very Natural, Sort Of Masculine Without Being Overly Macho.

My Problem Was That I Was Blond. There Were No Heroes With Blond Hair. Robert Taylor And Henry Fonda, They All Had Dark Hair. The Only One I Found Was Van Johnson, Who Wasn't Too Cool. He Was A Nice, Homely American Boy. So I Created My Own Image. It Worked.

In Film, Other Actors' Performances Really Are Not Your Concern. If The Other Actor Isn't Giving You What You Want, Act As Though He Were.

I Heard My First Laughter On Stage, When I Was About 10 Years Old. It Was Gold Pantomime And I Remember I Was Playing Baron Fitznoodle, Who Was The Father Of The Ugly Sisters In "cinderella." And I Walked On And Got A Great Big Laugh And I Thought That Was Fantastic, Until I Looked Down And Found That My Flies Were Open. And So I Always Check My Flies. I Even Check My Flies On Radio.
