“Americans make the best fans, perhaps because they
always seem to have time on their hands. The native young pound along behind,
thrust a cigarette into one’s hand, and are off back to the shop. Worst of all
are the temporarily incapacitated who demand you sign the plaster on the
fractured limb. I find it well nigh impossible to scratch on plaster of Paris,
yet others seem to manage.”—English stage and screen actor (and longtime fixture
in British Airways commercials) Robert Morley (1908-1992), The Best of Robert Morley (1981)Friday, January 12, 2018
