- AnecdotesAs the butler in Boulevard du crépuscule (1950), he is in the projection room when Norma Desmond and Joe Gillis are watching one of Norma's old films. The film is actually La reine Kelly (1929), which von Stroheim directed and which starred Gloria Swanson, who is playing Norma Desmond.
- CitationsIf you live in France and you have written one good book, or painted one good picture, or directed one outstanding film, 50 years ago, and nothing ever since, you are still recognized as an artist and honored accordingly ... In Hollywood - in Hollywood, you're as good as your last picture. If you didn't have one in production in the last three months, you're forgotten, no matter what you have achieved ere this. It is that terrific, unfortunately necessary, egotism in the makeup of the people who make the cinema, it is the continuous endeavor for recognition, that continuous struggle for survival and supremacy, among the newcomers, that relegates the old-timers to the ashcan.
