Personal Quote:

[on his role in Watch on the Rhine (1943), which he originally played on Broadway] The writing is so right you don't have to learn the part. It sticks to you. I amuse myself by changing a gesture occasionally.

Trivia:

Died in Tangier, Morocco, while searching for a place to spend his retirement years. See more »
