flashback42 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 ...and somewhere I ran across a story about an actress who asked Himself about a move or a line reading or some such, and Hitch replied, "_____, dear, fake it." Is this thread open or what? Link to post Share on other sites

Aranxa Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I messed up. I forgot the first half of that quote. My apologies, here's both parts - {font:Times}{size:16px}"In our film profession you may have Gable's looks, Tracy's art, Marlene's legs or Liz's violet eyes, but they don't mean a thing without that swinging thing called courage."{font}{size:16px} Edited by: Aranxa on Jan 6, 2012 11:45 PM Link to post Share on other sites

He's on a special mission to Israel to explain Sammy Davis." ??? Link to post Share on other sites

flashback42 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Considering my last response, I'm forced to admit that I'm not sure of the original source of the quip. The guy I heard tell the joke had a history of stealing jokes. Other comics made jokes about this guy stealing jokes. This guy made jokes about this guy stealing jokes.

flashback42 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Awwwww! I thought I was being very subtle about that. Answered at 70 Views. I think it was Dean Martin's variety show where I heard Mr. Berle do this routine. I believe that in the same set, he used the old one about addressing a member of the audience: "Excuse me, sir, are you in show business? Then get your arm off the stage." BTW, during this research I ran across an old Jessel line from the WWII years: "My draft status is 8-T. That means I go when the Japs are in the lobby." metz44's thread.
