“I’m tough to live with--heaven knows and Hollywood
didn't help — Irish and genius don't mix well.”—Four-time Oscar-winning
director (and equally legendary crank) John Ford, letter to his wife Mary,
quoted in Scott Eyman, Print the Legend: The Life and Times of John Ford (2012)
Shh-h-h-h. Not so loud. Otherwise, more than 40
million Americans of Irish descent can permanently kiss goodbye to those
MacArthur grants!
