Personal Quote:

I think that no actor should take Hollywood too seriously; but at the same time it would be wrong to underestimate its professionalism. Really, Hollywood is a caricature of itself, and in particular this is true of the front-office types at the studios. Their enthusiasm towards you is measured precisely to match the success of your last film. See more »

Trivia:

He had a daughter, Susan with Jessica Tandy and two sons, Nicholas & Andrew, with Doreen Lawrence. See more »
