Marilyn Monroe sometimes babysat the children of an actor with this surname who played the tow trucker Guido in her last movie, The Misfits. An actor with this surname often refused film roles to co-star with his wife Anne Jackson in plays by the writer of his debut film Baby Doll, (15[1])(*) Tennessee Williams. An actor with this surname nearly died three times on the set of a film in which he improvised the line “when you have to shoot, shoot; don’t talk.” A freeze-frame introduces that actor with this surname breaking through a saloon window with meat in one hand and a gun in the other.
