1 | My journey has been that of a character actor. I've worked with the great and the not-so-great. But mostly, I've worked with men and women who loved their profession and who, like me, had kids to raise and houses to pay for. |
2 | I loved Duke [John Wayne] and he loved me. The thing is, I don't think he ever forgave me for being the son of Harry Carey. Harry Carey was his absolute hero. |
3 | John Ford could see, in detail, something going on two hundred yards away. And probably hear every word, even though he said, "What?" all the time. He never missed a thing. He knew what was going on behind him and we never caught him looking. When he was very old, he did have a cataract removed from his left eye and wore a patch over it afterwards because he said it was overly sensitive to light. But most of us believed it was because it was the ham in him that caused him to wear it. I loved him like a father and so did the rest of the gang, but we all felt that he was playing his role a lot of the time. He always wore dark glasses though, so you could never see where he was looking. His daughter Barbara always said, "He didn't want you to see those soft, kindly eyes.". |
