Fredric March – photos and quotes

Fredric March

“I’m not so quick on the uptake when it comes to learning lines. I’ve got to go over and over them. And so, even today, when I run up against some of those directors who like to ‘shoot scenes with spontaneity,’ I’m thrown for a loss. Some players like it though.”Fredric March

“Application of the Hyde makeup required three and a half hours. March, during the seven weeks filing of the picture, came to work at 6 a.m. when he was to be Hyde; the days he was to be Jeckyll he slept two more hours.”  — Hubbard Keavy,  “Gossip of Filmland,” 1932.

“Stardom is just an uneasy seat on top of a tricky toboggan. Being a star is merely perching at the head of the downgrade. A competent featured player can last a lifetime. A star, a year or two. There’s all that agony of finding suitable stories, keeping in character, maintaining illusion. Then the undignified position of hanging on while your popularity is declining.”Fredric March
