Groucho Marx to brother Chico:

“I have a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.”

About Chico:

“There were three things my brother was always on — a phone, a horse, or a broad.”

[Charles Henrickson]

21. John Cassavetes on Ricardo Montalban: “Ricardo Montalban is to improvised acting what Mount Rushmore is to animation.”

I LOL'ed on that one.

What happened to #5?

[Secret Agent Man]

i have always wondered why we admire people for doing incredibly stupid things likemheavy drinking. why rinking a lot of poison, ‘holding your drink’, is a defining act of manliness. it’s damn idiotic. especially when drinking actually then goes and kills the guy. what the hell is so admirable about that?

[SMCC1]

It’s on there, just accidentally neglected to put a space.

Oscar Levant on Dorris Day, “I knew her before she was a virgin.”

John Wayne in “The Conqueror.”

I agree with Cary Grant (#8) on James Dean. He has to be the most over rated actor of all time.

[Sacajaweau]

Camelot made me love him forever. He was brilliant.

[vladimir998]

“...and that God-awful James Dean.”

I always thought he was vastly overrated. That’s heresy among libs, however.

[vladimir998]

True!

“Mr. Kiel revealed in a 2002 autobiography, “Making It Big in the Movies,” that he suffered from a fear of heights. He admitted that he had battled alcoholism and was able to stop drinking as a born-again Christian.” http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/12/arts/richard-kiel-dies-at-74-played-jaws-in-bond-films.html?_r=0

The first one disappoints me but the rest are liberals dissing each other and confirming the idea that show business is like high school with money.

“I knew her before she was a virgin.”

OOoooo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo... dangerous remark

I’m one of John Wayne’s biggest fans, but the Duke admitted in an interview that his halting manner of speaking or hesitation in speaking was due to him taking the time to recall his lines.
And Marilyn Monroe said that Gable’s dentures caused him to have really bad breath. She hated smooching scenes with him.
Actors. Except for Marion Francis and a few others, who needs ‘em?

[tumblindice]

Marion Francis= Marion Robert Morrison

[BBell]

I agree with Cary Grant (#8) on James Dean. He has to be the most over rated actor of all time.

It always helps your legacy when you die young.

Think Marilyn Monroe.

So hacked emails aren’t new, eh?

That was also the joke about Boston catcher More Berg, he can speak 7 languages but can't hit in any of them.

Was selected to go to Japan per WWII with an all-star team, not because of his talent but because he spoke Japanese and the oss wanted him to gather information. He took pictures of Tokyo that were later used to plan the Doolittle raid.
Read “the catcher was a spy”.

1. John Wayne on Clark Gable: “Gable’s an idiot. You know why he’s an actor? It’s the only thing he’s smart enough to do.”

If John Wayne really did say that, it's a shame. Gable didn't just play a war hero in the movies like the Duke, he actually was one. Gable enlisted in the Army Air Forces at the age of 41 and trained as a gunner on bombers. Though he spent much of the war with a motion picture unit, he did fly five combat missions.

“Bette Davis on Joan Crawford: “I wouldn’t piss on her if she was on fire.””

I wish these Hollywood types would come out and say what they mean.
