Personal Quote:

[on Sophia Loren] She is not the most attractive lady in the world at first glance but, my God, two seconds later you felt like you were in a dream world. Just for her to say "Hello" was enough. You just capitulated. For me she is the most beautiful person I've ever met. See more »

Trivia:

For his role of Messala in 'Ben- Hur' he had to grow a beard then when it was quite long researchers discovered that young Roman tribunes didn't have beards so it had to come off. It was the decided he should have brown eyes which meant him having to wear contact lenses to hide his blue eyes and have lifts in his shoes to make him equal height to that of Charlton Heston's 6ft 2 inch.
