Clive Brook(1887-1974)

He and his wife moved back to England permanently in 1936, partly due to threats to kidnap their children. At this time the entire movie colony in Hollywood was alarmed at kidnapping threats, and attempts increased. For a while he slept with a revolver under his pillow, and both his children were taken to school each day by a private guard their family shared with Ann Harding.

Hollywood is a chain gang and we lose the will to escape. The links of the chain are not forged with cruelties but with luxuries.
