Let’s see... McQueen was able to do his role in “The Magnificent Seven” only because he crashed his car deliberately (with his wife in the passenger seat) to take a sick leave from something else he was obligated to do.

James Coburn was cooler than Steve McQueen.

Lee Marvin was cooler than James Coburn.

Cary Grant made up a metaphor, that Hollywood has been like a bus, with people getting on, enjoying the ride for a while, then getting off (dying).

But he said, Gable’s driving the bus. And at the time of the interview, Gable had been dead twenty years.

One of my old bosses was in the film operation petticoat with Grant.

He said he was just like he was on film in real life.

he(grant) a poor orphan kid and made his life what it became.

Brilliant comedian, and a true life tough guy.
