Ruth Gordon
We watched Smokey and the Bandit last night. Sort of into retro Burt Reynolds at the moment. In talking about Any Which Way You Can I was reminded of Ruth Gordon (a fave) and looked her up and found some cool quotes.
Just a tie in with Ruth:In 1968, Reynolds tested for a role in the film ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968), but Roman Polanski ended up casting John Cassavetes (another fave of mine and not a misogynist) for the part.
Ruth Gordon Quotes
Courage is very important. Like a muscle, it is strengthened by use.
Discussing how old you are is the temple of boredom.
If I don't make it today, I'll come in tomorrow.
Never give up. And never, under any circumstances, face the facts.
Pan me, don't give me the part, publish everybody's book but this one and I will still make it!
The very best impromptu speeches are the ones written well in advance.
To be somebody you must last.
Why? Because I believe I will. If you believe, then you hang on. If you believe, it means you've got imagination, you don't need stuff thrown out for you in a blueprint, you don't face facts-what can stop you?
