  • Quotes
    [Of Brian Keith, who played Judge Milton Hardcastle]: Brian has been a big help to me. Like most actors, I'd look away from the lights until the last moment, then try to look into them without tears. Keith told me that was the wrong way to do it. He said, 'I should keep looking at the lights, but with my eyes half-shut, squintly.' Then, when the cameras rolled, I could open them and it wouldn't be a problem. I didn't believe him, but it works.
