MarshaKatz Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 "I lost $2 at Santa Anita and I've spent $3 million trying to win it back." Star, when I read this quote, I had two people in mind, both who loved gambling on horses.....Mickey Rooney and Jack Klugman. Since the quote mentions Santa Anita, I'm going to guess Mickey Rooney. Is it Mickey? Link to post Share on other sites
starliteyes Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Very good, Marsha! It was Mickey. He had a serious gambling problem, especially when it came to betting on the horses. From what I've read, I would guess that he might have been an addict. Well, I'm going to bet on you now, Marsha, to come up with a good one. Link to post Share on other sites
MarshaKatz Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thank you, Star. Well, I'm not sure how "good" this quote is, but when I first read it, I found it both interesting and inciteful. "I don't quite jump for joy, but I am awfully glad to see him." Link to post Share on other sites

Azure Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 William Wyler? No, sorry, but that was a good guess. Here's a hint -- This director had a reputation for not being particularly fond of actors. (Although this could be said for almost all of the directors. LOL) Link to post Share on other sites
