Quote of the Day (Allen)

“You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a fruit fly and still have room enough for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart.” – Radio comedian Fred Allen (real name: John Florence Sullivan), 1894-1956, who, like my maternal grandfather, died on St. Patrick’s Day, and who, also like him, is buried in Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, N.Y.
