Widmark, RIP

Actor Richard Widmark, who just passed away at the age of 93, gave some thoughts toward the end of his career on working in the movie business:

“I’ve discovered in my dotage that I now find the whole moviemaking process irritating. I don’t have the patience anymore. I’ve got a few more years to live, and I don’t want to spend them sitting around a movie set for 12 hours to do two minutes of film.”

Thank God the rest of us never experience such frustrations.
