2. that's a great pic of Mr. Heflin, CBH-

here's some quotes I found interesting at your link:

Personal Quotes

I just didn't have the looks and if I didn't do a good acting job I looked terrible.

"Louis B. Mayer once looked at me and said, "You will never get the girl at the end". So I worked on my acting.

I guess I didn't realize, until I read the link you posted, just how many wonderful movies he appeared in. So many are favorites of mine:

The Strange Love of Martha Ivers
Possessed
Madame Bovary
3:10 to Yuma
Airport

and many others. Thank you CBH, for posting that link- I enjoyed reading more about Van Heflin's life and work! :hi:
