Well, I called him and I said, Mr. Wright, what can I do? Universal offered me a contract $300 a week. He says take it. You'll never get that money from me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Get a lawyer to look at your contract or beware. Because no company - evil or not - is going to do it for you.
Maybe I'm old-school, but I always thought you honor a contract.
I've been offered a few professional contracts... in the hundreds and thousands.
People think I should be a multi-millionaire if I had gotten the right contract. I'm not getting anything for all that commercial stuff they do. But I would have had to pay for that.
That's what happens in the world. You get offered superior contracts.
I quit after my seven-year contract with Universal was up. I quit for 33 years.
No matter how good a deal sounds, if your name goes on the bottom line, you need to understand it and be sure you'll be able to pay. You are responsible for yourself forever. Forever.
I got a phone call from Douglas Campbell and from Jerome Guthrie, who offered me a job out of the blue.
Suddenly I had a contract and I was earning lots of money.
If you sit down with me, I guarantee I will accept any terms you offer for a contract.
