 "I certainly admire people who do things." Raymond Chandler

Margaret Rutherford, Angela Lansbury, Helen Hayes, Joan Hickson, Geraldine McEwan, Julia McKenzie. What a pity the role was never played by Coral Browne! A bitchy, sharp-tongued Miss Marple. "Such an unpleasant subject."

 "You coud have asked, Denys." "I did. She said yes."

William Marshall (The King of Cartoons), Laurence Fishburne (Cowboy Curtis), and Jimmy Smits (Johnny Wilson), who played Othello at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival)

 "Every time I hear the key in the door, I know the party's about to start" --Anne Bancroft
