After I came out of the United States Marine Corps I got into the mail-room at CBS and they paid $22.50 a week in 1957. Television was young and I thought it was a place to be, a place to do. One day I ran into a buddy of mine at a famous saloon in New York, which is still still famous to this very day: P.J. Clarke's...We got to talking and I told my buddy I was in the entertainment business...well, he told me his father owned a film production company and his assistant editor was leaving and did I want the job? I asked: 'what did it pay'? He replied: '$65.00 a week'...so I said:...'I'll be there on Monday morning'...
