1 | [on working with Orson Welles and The Mercury Theater] He had an unbroken string of successes. But unfortunately I joined the company just in time for the first flop, 'Danton's Death'. He was a genius, but in that one he let his genius get slightly out of hand. He loaded up the little theater with thousands of dollars worth of lights, and tore out the stage and put in elevator platforms, so all the actors were constantly moving up and down out of the depths. I remember we all had to make noises in the night, in addition to our roles. I did animal noises. Joseph Cotten had to do sex noises. Can you imagine? Joseph Cotton? |
