Personal Quote:

[Speaking about his experience working on the 1940 theatrical film, Pride and Prejudice, in which he played Mr. Bingley] It was the biggest budget of my career and one that brought with it my own dresser, a bungalow on the lot and lunches where one could spot Greta Garbo, Salvador Dalí, Cary Grant and dozens of Munchkins from The Wizard of Oz.
