Personal Quote:

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence and the right kind of physique ought to make a film actor, if they are lucky enough to be told exactly what to do, and I cannot see that the actor for the screen deserves any more credit than a schoolboy who is good at dictation should have for writing admirable prose.

He was a great friend (and crochet partner) of Queen Mary and is even said to have based his later appearance on her. See more »
