| 1 | My father was a drunk, although he was a fabulous character, and he and my mother always loved each other, even when they were separated. |
| 2 | Louis B. Mayer once looked at me and said, "You will never get the girl at the end". So I worked on my acting. |

| 3 | He was director Michael Anderson's choice to play Gen. Dwight Eisenhower in a Columbia Pictures epic, "16th of December: The Battle of the Bulge," which had the blessing of Eisenhower and the Defense Department, but the project was abandoned after Warner Brothers used the title "The Battle of the Bulge" on a generic war film with Henry Fonda. |
