When all the spoiled Hollywood brats were complaining at some big awards thingy about the evil America after 9/11, wasn’t it Peter O’Toole who said “America has always been very good to me.” And each time he spoke in public, didn’t he always have praise for her? Correct me if I’m mistaken, but that’s what I remember about him. May he rest in peace.
He did! His Oscar speech was very gracious and classy. I'll find link.
