“I’m really honored to be part of this evening’s tribute to a man I’ve known and loved for so many years. Aside from the astounding impact he’s had on the theater, motion pictures and I suppose all forms of show business, he is completely and absolutely responsible for abetting and encouraging some of us to be become actors… If it hadn’t been for his interference, I could be very happily working for my uncle’s bank on Sycamore Street in Petersburg. I’ve never spoken before of this intrusion in my private life but now that I have the opportunity, let me say this to you Orson— thank you very much.”
