Orson Welles Quotes

Stars wide of belt often cultivated a gentlemanly grandeur, a groomed refinement that filtered through their fingertips - the dainty fidgets of Hardy's plump digits, Orson Welles performing magic tricks with nimble dexterity, Jackie Gleason lofting a teacup to his lips as if he were Lady Bracknell - or through a fine set of twinkle-toes.
James Wolcott

Through, Stars, Often

Frank Miller

Men, Movies, Wanted

Able, Understood, Opposite

Patrick Macnee

Great, Mean, Him
