It's wonderful that a show that's so normal could go on for so long. It's not cutting-edge, but it has still struck a chord, because everyone can sit down and watch it without being offended. It's gentle, warm and loving. (On My Family (2000)) Hide

I discovered that he must have been tipped off in 1951 that he was going to be subpoenaed by McCarthy's committee, so he took a film job in England, and we came over, Mummy and my elder sister and I, on the Queen Mary.
