There was never anyone else like George Sanders. Suave, yes, but creepy suave. His roles were always memorable.

I grew up feasting on films with George Sanders playing lead or second lead. He had everything, acting ability, nice-looking, great voice....and that sophisticated nonchalance we might call "cool" today.

You got the "creepy" part right, though....he committed suicide in a Barcelona hotel in 1972 from an overdose of barbituates. He left a suicide note that said in part that he was "bored".

Well, two of his wives were the Gabor sisters, Zsa Zsa and Magda. That couldn't have been TOO boring.

Sanders was always good...he always had that “I don’t give a damn” attitude about his roles which was always perfect.
