Somebody once approached Kirk Douglas and said they had enjoyed his performance in Ben-Hur (1959). So he said, `That wasn`t me, that was another fellow.` And the man said, `Well, if you aren`t Burt Lancaster, who the hell are you?`
Charlton Heston
I was tired of playing the nice, clean-cut cowboy in "Rawhide" (1959), I wanted something earthier. Something different from the old-fashioned Western. You know: Hero rides in, very stalwart, with white hat, man`s beating a horse, hero jumps off, punches ...
Clint Eastwood
[after directing Marilyn Monroe for the second time in Some Like It Hot (1959)] I have discussed this with my doctor and my psychiatrist and they tell me I`m too old and too rich to go through this again.
Billy Wilder
At the studios, everybody`s into sequels or remakes or adaptations of old TV shows. I don`t know if it`s because of the corporate environment or they`re just out of ideas. Pretty soon, they`re going to be wanting to do one of "Rawhide" (1959).
Clint Eastwood
[on North by Northwest (1959)] "Our original title, you know, was `The Man in Lincoln`s Nose`. Couldn`t use it, though. They also wouldn`t let us shoot people on Mount Rushmore. Can`t deface a national monument. And it`s a pity, too, because I had a wonde...

I`m very sorry that when I turned my life over to the Lord Jesus in January 1959, I threw out all my netstockings, bikinis - some from Frederik`s of Hollywood.
Bettie Page
[on how he decided to do Per un pugno di dollari (1964)] I`d done "Rawhide" (1959) for about five years. The agency called and asked if I was interested in doing a western in Italy and Spain. I said, "Not particularly." They said, "Why don`t you give the ...

About her second husband: "Six weeks into the marriage, on New Year`s Eve 1959, I wanted to go dancing with him at a nightclub. He said he`d rather get drunk with his brothers." (LA Times 3-11-06)

The vision of putting students first started with Bob in 1959, ... That same vision is guiding the decisions we?re making now in planning for the future.
Brian King
On December 19, 1959, at 8:30 at night I placed my trust in Christ as Savior and Lord and asked Him to come into my life and forgive me.
Allan Zaremberg
I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. (31 August 1959)
Andy Geiger
I started the nuclear medicine laboratory at UW Hospitals in 1959 and trained radiology residents in the field. It was 1965 before they found a trained MD (doctor) to take over my role.
