"In looking back over his career in his 1998 interview with the New York Times, Wise said, one of his favorite films was 'The Haunting.' Another was 'I Want to Live!,' for which Wise prepared by witnessing an execution at San Quentin.
Wise described the film's star, Susan Hayward, as 'a very good actress and a very private person. Most actors schmooze around canvas chairs. Not Susan. She spent all the time in her dressing room.'"
Jill, yes I think we are often on the same wavelength! Thanks for the post and it's nice that those comments about Susan Hayward were included. I have seen him comment about her I Want To Live performance in a TCM interview and he spoke very highly and respectfully about her. You know, he just seemed like a very nice man. He left behind a great legacy of work...
