I Was A 'laurel And Hardy' Nut.

I Think The Biggest Mistake - I Was Always A Big Fan Of Cary Grant, And He Asked Me To Do A Movie With Him, Playing The Second Lead, And I Didn't Do It. And To This Day, I Can't Remember Why. But I Could've Said I Worked With Cary Grant, But I Turned Him Down. That Was Probably The Biggest Mistake I Ever Made.

I Wanted To Be A Radio Announcer.

I Would Love To Be Moses.

When I Was A Kid, I Had Ambitions For Being A Television Announcer, Which Was Before Television Took Off, You Know, In The Late 40s. And Just Through Necessity, Going Out Looking For Work, I Was Starting To Sing, And Dance, And Act, And I Never Expected To Do That, Nor To Have Any Success At It At Least.

Only Funny Line I've Had Was My First Day On The Set Of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. They Were Making Me Up, And I Saw The Director Call The Makeup Man Over, And He Says "what Are We Going To Do About The Hooter?" And The Makeup Guy Said, "i'm Not A Plastic Surgeon." So I Started That Show With A Big Nose, And Quite Conscious Of It.
