I had the pleasure of becoming friends with Stirling Silliphant when he lived in Bangkok. He would write while listening to Frank Sinatra records really loud. Great stories of taking kung fu lessons from Bruce Lee and hanging with William Holden who was best man at his wedding. The stories just kept getting better. For an Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode Alfred Hitchcock telling him he needed not several lines but an inch and an half of dialogue. Magnum Force, Towering Inferno, 77 Sunset Strip

@Tiron1988 that was actress Lee Grant

[AtomicRooster77]

Gotta love Sidney Poitier!

[thecuckookid]

@DCAUFan I like Poitier but very few actors were as good as Rod Steiger. Steiger deserved the award.

I remeber waiting for this show to be over so I could watch cartoons.
