I sometimes get the feeling that a lot of his stories were made-up or dressed-up; but he told them with relish and such a twinkle in his eye, that I didn’t care. I remember, way back, decades ago, thinking he’d soon be dead, what with his horrendous drinking and turbulent lifestyle. He was way up there in the betting pools. But he pulled it together and still managed to come across as a charming rogue and a wonderfully entertaining actor and bon vivant. Sorry to hear he’s retiring. I thank him and wish him well.

Could be, but I've never got that feeling. I think he had lots of crazy stories that were true. Guess we will never know.
