The best line about actors came surprisingly during a scene in the movie “My Favorite Year” when two neighbors speaking about Peter O’Toole hanging down below their balcony exclaim
” I believe that Alan Swann is beneath us”
“Of course he is beneath us “ claims the neighbor “he is an actor”
Is he related to Henry Winkler?
