Personal Quote:

Hollywood doesn't like actors who are British classical actors. They like Michael Caine because he's a sort of English Everyman. But the Laurence Oliviers and the John Gielguds and Richard Burtons are not and can't be an Everyman. They have some quality of aristocratic greatness that Hollywood finds threatening. See more »

Trivia:

He is the only person to have ever directed a parent (Walter Huston) and a child (Anjelica Huston) to Academy Award wins. See more »
