Small French restaurant in Hollywood, I think was on Vine St. south of Sunset. He was alone and sitting next to my wife and I. He started the conversation and we ended up having a very nice chat with him.
He was so different than the character he played: perfect gentlemen, no accent, obviously very intelligent. Always viewed him differently after that evening.
And to be honest, I did not realize he was still alive.
He also was in a Hanna Barbera TV special version of Alice in Wonderland, featuring the song “What’s a Nice Girl Like You
Doing in a Place Like This?”
