That the old fashioned motion picture gangster with his ugly face, gaudy cars, and flashy clothes was replaced by a smoother, better looking, and better dressed bad man was largely the work of Mr. Ladd. - "New York Times" obituary (January 30, 1964)
Alan Ladd
I hate being asked to discuss those dreadful horror pictures I made the mistake of starring in. They were all just so disappointing to me, I really had high expectations for some of them. I thought that William Castle and I did our best on Strait-Jacket (...
Joan Crawford
On her love scene with Bill Pullman in Mr. Wrong (1996): "It`s a combination of Something Wild (1986), After Hours (1985) and Mary Poppins (1964)....if Mary Poppins were naked."
Ellen DeGeneres
[On his most famous role, 1979]: Funny thing, yesterday morning I found my youngest son and daughter watching the rerun of an old ("The Munsters" (1964)) episode and I said, "My God, THAT`S not still on, is it?" Well, even so, I was very lucky and it was ...
Fred Gwynne
In 1964: "I had no desire to be a film actress, to always play somebody else, to be beautiful with somebody constantly straightening out your every eyelash. It was always a big bother to me."
Marlene Dietrich
[1964]: My one ambition has nothing to do with acting. I hope to establish a kennel near the ocean and raise prize Silver German Shepherd dogs. You see, I`m used to having a house to myself and can`t adjust to apartment dwelling and the closeness of well-...
Jim Hutton
[On her The Night of the Iguana (1964) co-star Richard Burton] Richard Burton drank so much at night that the next morning the alcohol literally oozed out of his pores. He gave off a terrible odor-playing a scene with him could be most unpleasant.
Sue Lyon
. . . there`s that lovely line from that wonderful epic picture that I made called Grey Owl (1999) where they say to Archie Belaney, "A man becomes what he dreams. You have dreamed well." Part of the dreams go back to my childhood and when I left Ireland ...
Pierce Brosnan
[on his late "Gilligan`s Island" (1964) co-star, Alan Hale Jr.] "He was a big, lovable man who made everybody feel good. He had a great time with his life."
Bob Denver
[when asked to take over Joan Crawford`s role in Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)] "No, thank you. I can just about stand looking at Joan Crawford`s face at six o`clock in the morning, but not Bette Davis."
Vivien Leigh
[On Cheyenne Autumn (1964)] "That was worse than any other film, because it didn`t tell the truth. Superduper patriots like John Ford could never say that the American government was at fault. He made the evil cavalry captain a foreigner. John Ford had hi...
Marlon Brando
On working with Sean Connery, her leading man from Marnie (1964): He was just fabulous, a consummate actor with a great sense of humor. He was practicing his golf swing all the time - a rather profound golfer. We honored him on June 8, 2006 at the America...
Tippi Hedren
[On her The Night of the Iguana (1964) co-star Richard Burton] I wasn`t very impressed by the relationship between him and Elizabeth. Richard was very domineering and Elizabeth meek. She would do whatever he wanted her to.
Sue Lyon
[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 ...
Clint Eastwood
[on Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)]: It was full of traps; it was a delicate tightrope assignment. I found that very interesting. Robert Aldrich gave it a very special style, a kind of dark, glittering style which fascinated me.
Olivia De Havilland
On March 1, 2005, she was asked which is her favorite Alfred Hitchcock film that she starred in, and her response was: "I think Marnie (1964). They were both so different that it`s kind of hard to figure out which, but The Birds (1963) was sort of a chase...
Tippi Hedren
On being offered the title role in Marnie (1964) by Alfred Hitchcock: "I was stunned. I was amazed that he would offer me this incredible role and that he would have that kind of faith in me. . .I thought Marnie was an extremely interesting role to play a...
Tippi Hedren
It`s 12 years and you could find ten films a year that are masterpieces. They don`t make those films anymore. You couldn`t come near making those films. (On films made between 1964 and 1976)
George Clooney
Well I guess my music came to prominence around one piece called `In C` which I wrote in 1964 at that time it was called `The Global Villages for Symphonic Pieces`, because it was a piece built out of 53 simple patterns and the structure was new to music ...
Terry Riley
The Court today completes the process of converting Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 from a guarantee that race or sex will not be the basis for often will.
Antonin Scalia
Freedom Summer, the massive voter education project in Mississippi, was 1964. I graduated from high school in 1965. So becoming active was almost a rite of passage.
