Personal Quote:

[on Errol Flynn] Errol Flynn was a joy, a lovely man, and most of the talk about him is nothing but rumor by people who didn't even know him. He loved to talk about how much he could drink and the women he'd made love to, but most of it was just the rationalizations of a disappointed moralist. He was the hardest-working, most down-to-earth actor I have ever worked with. See more »

Trivia:

Directed 8 different actors in Oscar-nominated performances: Alice Brady, Jennifer Jones, Charles Bickford, Gladys Cooper, Anne Revere, Alexander Knox, Dean Jagger and Gregory Peck. Brady, Jones and Jagger won Oscar for their performances in one of King's movies. See more »
