GordonCole Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Fred Allen was a wit whose quips were apt and sometimes prescient, like the following. All the sincerity in Hollywood you could stuff in a flea's navel and still have room left to conceal eight caraway seeds and an agent's heart. Everything is for the eyes these days-TV, Life, Look, the movies. Nothing is just for the mind. The next generation will have eyeballs as big as cantaloupes with no brain at all. Any others by others you like will be appreciated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starliteyes Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 "Hollywood is very much like a streetcar. Once a new star is made and comes aboard, an old one is edged out of the rear exit.
