(To the press after the murder of his wife, Sharon Tate, in 1969) "...All of you know how beautiful she was but few of you know how good she was."
Roman Polanski
[describing his financial slump, after paying a huge default to leave The Monkees in 1969] "I had to start telling little tales to the tax man while they were putting tags on the furniture."
Michael Nesmith
I remember the bad outfits my parents dressed me up in and my Beatles haircut but I never watched "The Brady Bunch" (1969). The Partridges? I hated their music.
Paul Anderson
[On his role as the dance-marathon barker in They Shoot Horses, Don`t They? (1969)]: (The role was) a lifeline for a drowning man, a last chance to show (my) talent as a serious actor.
Gig Young
[On her Rachel, Rachel (1968) director and husband Paul Newman being snubbed in the Best Director category by the Academy Awards in 1969] "How do you figure it? He even won the New York Film Critics award that year for it, but didn`t get in as one of the ...
Joanne Woodward
[speaking in 1969] When I was under contract to MGM, with people like poor Robert Taylor and so many others, the cinema`s job was solely entertainment. It filled a public need then. Now the cinema serves so many other purposes; it functions as psychiatris...
Deborah Kerr
The three things that I am most proud of doing in my life is firstly, "Extras" (2005); secondly, my appearance on "The Simpsons" (1989) and thirdly, appearing on "Sesame Street" (1969).
Patrick Stewart
That`s why those fellas were so magnificent playing the same part, because they`d played it forty times. That`s why John Wayne finally became a good actor in True Grit (1969) - he`s got 150 of them behind him. Now he`s developed a saltiness and an earthin...
Gregory Peck
[Los Angeles, 1969] Let`s just say I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That`s all it was: just curiosity.
Jim Morrison
It only takes 30 seconds to pluck my eyebrows, but it hurts. I have to tweeze them in the middle once a week. Otherwise, I look like Bert from "Sesame Street" (1969). I`ve been doing it for 11 years.
Freddie Prinze JR
[Her explanation for bringing excess luggage to London in 1969 for her year long stint on stage as `Mame`] "I believe in dressing for the occasion. There`s a time for sweater, sneakers and Levis and a time for the full-dress jazz. As for the little touche...
Ginger Rogers
[On the failure of his experimental educational/variety show, "Cos" (1976)] My first series ["I Spy" (1965)] ran three years, my second ["The Bill Cosby Show" (1969)] ran two years and my third ["The New Bill Cosby Show" (1972)] ran one. This show, if I`m...
Bill Cosby
[on the cancellation of "The Courtship of Eddie`s Father" (1969)] I cannot tell you how disappointed I was. I wanted that series to go on to the point when it came to the teenage stage and we could deal with these problems in an honest contemporary way. B...
Bill Bixby
When I`m in New York. I look at the Empire State Building and feel as though it belongs to me, or is it vice versa? (in 1969 interview with the New York Times)
Fay Wray
When I did "Sesame Street" (1969), Elmo was not the worldwide phenomenon he is now. I understood Elmo was special, and I said that the only way I would do Sesame Street was with Elmo. Kevin Clash, the young man who did the voice for him, was a very sweet ...
Jamie Curtis
I felt a little funny when we were going to do the bed scene, all four of us, in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969). I`m open to suggestions, I`m no prude, but four is a crowd in my book. Fortunately, Dyan Cannon was there. The thought of another woman bein...
Natalie Wood
To me, The Wild Bunch (1969) was distasteful. It would have been a good picture without the gore. Pictures go too far when they use that kind of realism, when they have shots of blood spurting out and teeth flying, and when they throw liver out to make it...
John Wayne
Everything I do has a moral to it. Yes, I`ve been in films that have had shootings. I made The Wild Bunch (1969), which was the beginning of the splattering of blood and everything else. But there was a moral behind it. The moral was that, by golly, bad g...
Ernest Borgnine
I was very influenced by Ken Loach`s work from the moment I saw Kes (1969) when I was a kid. It still remains for me one of the most powerful pieces of work ever. Before that, there was Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960), This Sporting Life (1963) a...
Daniel Day-Lewis
My own family was completely dysfunctional, so I know what the appeal of The Brady Bunch" (1969) was. And when kids get older, in college, for example, and they realize that all their friends watched it, and you all have something in common. You can make ...
Christopher Knight
[About Claude Jade, who starred in Topaz (1969)] "Claude Jade is a brave nice young lady. But I don`t give any guarantee what she will do on a taxi`s back seat."
Alfred Hitchcock
[poem, "The Sky", he read on his 1969 "Rowan & Martin`s Laugh-In" (1968) appearance] The sky is blue, the grass is green. Get off your ass and join the Marines.
John Wayne
[Time Magazine interview, 1969] I would like to be remembered, well . . . the Mexicans have a phrase, "Feo fuerte y formal". Which means he was ugly, strong and had dignity.
John Wayne
John Wayne was then the Hollywood legend, and I was on screen with him. The guy is an angel. He saved my life back then when no other film maker wanted to know me. - On The Undefeated (1969)
Rock Hudson
In most ways it was a damn good picture. But if we remade Midnight Cowboy (1969) today, the whole relationship between Buck and Ratso would have to be sexualized or at least made, you know, like in love...to be sexually or erotically honest.
Jon Voight
We served on the editorial board of a literary monthly called Face in 1968 and 1969. He was a young writer, and I was also interested in broad cultural issues. We agreed on all major issues and became friends.
Andrew Harrington
(To the press after the murder of his wife, Sharon Tate, in 1969) "...All of you know how beautiful she was but few of you know how good she was."
