Biography
[Regarding Ernest B. Schoedsack] Underneath his hard-boiled exterior, he had a heart of gold and the sensitiveness of a true artist. He was easy-going to the point of weakness with regard to everything but his work. It came first, and where it was concerned, he could be exacting. His patience was inexhaustible and he never lost his temper.
