Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

[on working with William Wyler on The Big Country] The atmosphere [on set] felt very dodgy - the sort of prevailing tension that invites paranoia, causes you to wonder, "What have I done?" . . . I guess Willy was in a position to know what it took to achieve great performances, but he also seemed bent on making things difficult ... See more »

Trivia:

Was William Wyler's first choice for the role of Princess Ann in Roman Holiday, but Howard Hughes, who owned her contract, wouldn't loan her out to Paramount to do the film. See more »
