"Let my name die everywhere, let even my friends forget me, if by that means the cause of the blessed Jesus may be promoted"

Unfortunately, or perhaps it is fortunate that I have always been forced to stand on my acting ability. I haven't a personality such as Jack Gilbert's, for instance, that attracts women and makes them like me for myself. When I am on the screen I must make them forget me entirely and think only of my acting.
