Everyone around the RCA back then in the house would
not have believed it,we all thought he was soused,a great
talent.As cool as Steve McQueen
Remember another quote..Someone asked RH where he got aids,
he said how would I know,I don`t have eyes in the back
of my head...true story as far as I know.
I was a never big RH fan - not because we later found out he was gay just that he was a bit dull like lib Greg Peck. You have to admire RH for making a joke knowing he had a death sentence. He seemed like a decent guy.
Dean had some career. Most people forget (before I was born) how big Martin and Lewis were. Dean always stayed busy. Stage comedy, movies, singing, TV. I think part of his success was he was just a likeable person where Sinatra came off as arrogant. Ditto for Jerry L.
I wonder if Dean and Steve ever did a film together? Magnificent 7 was a great one because Steve and James Coburn. Robert Vaughn was a mega lib, Brenner was okay and Bronson was pretty good too.
Supposedly Brenner was supposed to be the star of the film but Steve kind of stole the movie. He did the same thing in The Great Escape but supposedly he and Brenner on the set it was like a duel.
