Golden Age of Hollywood Book Club discussion

“I find men terribly exciting, and any girl who says she doesn't is an anemic old maid, a streetwalker, or a saint.”
-- Lana Turner

[re: Doris Day]

"I knew her before she was a virgin" --Oscar Levant

"No one ever made more mediocre movies than I did"

--Cliff Robertson

But at least he had a couple of good ones. Many people would sell their souls to be in the movies at all, although I think the selling price would be a couple of Oscars at least.

Marian Martin was apparently the cause of a famous nightclub brawl between Harold Peary and some producer at Warner Bros

Harold Peary??? I wonder what that brawl was about?

Harold Peary --of Portuguese descent--was apparently a notorious womanizer!

That's rather a surprise.

I remember TV ads from when I was probably a tween with Cliff Robertson. I wanna say AT&T. And this woman was so overwhelmed that she was talking personally with Cliff. And I was kinda "who the F is Cliff Robertson?"

I've still only seen him in Picnic and Spider-Man.

He was terrific in CHARLY.
