Quotes
[on J.P. McGowan] He was the toughest man, physically, I have ever known . . . He wrote his own scripts, directed them and played the character lead in most of them. Then when he washed up for the day and the rest went home, he'd go in the cutting room and cut and title until 2 or 3 a.m., then go in the office and sleep on the floor 'til the janitor woke him up, go home, have breakfast and be back on the stage before the cast showed up. This was not something he did once in a while. It was the way he worked all the time.
