Famous Actor

Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or actor:

    Those famous men of old, the Ogres—
    They had long beards and stinking arm-pits,
    They were wide-mouthed, long-yarded and great-bellied
    Yet not of taller stature, Sirs, than you.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    An actor rides in a bus or railroad train; he sees a movement and applies it to a new role. A woman in agony of spirit might turn her head just so; a man in deep humiliation probably would wring his hands in such a way. From straws like these, drawn from completely different sources, the fabric of a character may be built. The whole garment in which the actor hides himself is made of small externals of observation fitted to his conception of a role.
    Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
