Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments”

I had a private conservation with Cecil DeMille in his hotel room right after The Ten Commandments came out.

I was a chaperon at a senior dance at this hotel and was on the mezzanine floor with some seniors and there was a door with a sign stating DeMille was in residence there. A senior knocked on the door and they fled, leaving me standing there. He opened the door and I made an apology for the knock on the door.

He invited me in and we had coffee and talked about the making of the Ten Commandments. He was speaking at a church in that city the next day and invited me to go, so I did.

He told me in our conservation that he tried to make the Ten Commandments as honestly as he could to tell the story as it happened.

"I must've killed more men than Cecil DeMille."

That’s an interesting story. You sure did get around during your lifetime.
