[about director Spencer Gordon Bennet] He was a big . . . about 6'2" . . . quiet, gentle man who got what he wanted by just being nice. You couldn't possibly let him down, because he was so quiet and gentle and knew what he wanted. As long as you knew what you were doing . . . knew your part . . . knew your words . . . he was just as gentle as a lamb. His pace was even. He wasn't hysterical at all and he was very affable after hours when we went in to have a couple of drinks before dinner . . . he would mingle with the people . . . he was just one of 'em. When he worked, he'd bring you up to where he wanted you to be without you even knowing it. He planned things out, he knew where he was going. I never heard the man raise his voice. I got the feeling he was content where he was [on serials and B films]. He didn't want all the hubbub of somebody looking over his shoulder all the time. He knew what he wanted and knew his gentleness would get it for him. Hide

[on Terry Frost] He was a delightful guy to work with. I used to die laughing at him . . . every time he had one of those death scenes he would flip-flop like a fish out of water. [Director John English] said to him one time, "C'mon Terry . . . die already, will ya . ..we only got a two-reeler here". I liked working with him, he was fun, he relieved the pressure, he had endless energy. Hide
