He was both a handsome lead and a comedian, and at a time when the package wasn’t typical. Until Cary Grant came along, Montgomery held the patent. -Mick LaSalle

Happy Birthday Charlie Chaplin!! | April 16, 1889 - December 25, 1977 

I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician. —Charlie Chaplin

thomasdestry:

I don’t think that I had an unbroken record of artistic triumph. But there were enough good pictures. And I think the thing that is gratifying is when they still have some kind of a life, 25 years or more after you made them. And I have a few like that. When they’re seen people still enjoy them, and get something from them. Entertainment, information, a little bit of illumination of human condition. They still find something in value. In a way, it’s an actor’s vanity to imagine that he’ll be remembered or his work will be appreciated in years to come. But in another way, it’s not a bad ambition, to try do to some work that will stand the test of time.

Happy birthday Gregory Peck (April 5, 1916 – June 12, 2003)
