Elisha Cook was a darling, and full of the devil. A wired - up little fellow who was always busy, busy, busy.
From Marie Windsor
I got to know Sterling Hayden fairly well. He was a quiet man, who got more complicated as the years went on.
I can't remember anybody saying, Let's get this show on the road.
I'm 5 9, and there were two stars in my life who didn't mind that I was taller than they - George Raft and John Garfield.
Raft told me how to walk with him in a scene: We'd start off in a long shot normal, and about the time we got together in a close-up, I'd be bending my knees so I'd be shorter.
The way animals were and are abused appalls me to this very day.
For instance, it was very rare for anyone there with dogs to allow them into the house.
This I regard as a classic example of my not being properly prepared for a part I very much wanted.
But painting can be too lonely... I like being with people too much to have ever made that my life's work.
Of course, in later years, I'd studied acting more than ever before - mostly with the late Stella Adler, who was marvelous! - but in my earlier years, I couldn't afford to do this.
