Why, the fact that he was an actor made everything he said open to question, because acting was thought to be a vocation embraced exclusively by scatter-brains, wastrels and scamps. I don't believed that's true today and I don't think that it ever was., [1943 comment on Margaret O'Brien] If that child had been born in the middle ages, she'd have been burned as a witch.
