William Holden in “Born Yesterday”
“If you will try raising your upper lip, you might, at least, create the illusion of a smile.”
- Paris When It Sizzles (1964)
Happy 95th Birthday, William Holden
(April 17, 1918 - November 12, 1981)“For me, acting is not an all-consuming thing, except for the moment when I’m actually doing it. There is a point beyond acting, a point where living becomes important. When you’re making a movie, you get up in the morning and you put on a cloak; you create emotions within yourself, send gastric juices rushing up against the lining of your stomach. It has to be manufactured.”
