Personal Quote:

[on Lee Marvin] I'd given him a book by H.L. Mencken and he sent me one back, and I opened it and he'd written inside 'To Ed, for more joy, Lee Marvin'. I rang him up and thanked him so much and he said 'I'm glad you got it. You know why I wrote it in pencil don't you? So you can erase it if you don't like your books being blemished. See more »
