Directors and producers were afraid of a Dumont actor while at the same time they admired him.

A Dumont actor was considered to be too stilted - the way we Dumont actors used to speak.
1988 I also received from the city of Vienna the cross of honour for art and science. These titles and the various honors mean a great deal to me, most of all for the reason that they would mean a great deal to my parents too.
