I've had 79 to 80 years of show business. I started when I was 5 with a man called Tom Mix. I didn't have time to go to school because I was in silent movies, I was in radio, I was in burlesque, I worked with the circus. I'm all show business!
More Quotes from George Sidney:
I always say, 'I owe my career to golf. The test director went out to play golf. At 1 o'clock I walked out on the stage and there are these three girls, they're made up ready to be tested and I walked in and said, 'I'm the director.' And some guy in the back yelled, 'Well, go ahead and direct Charlie.' So that was it. That was the moment of truth.George Sidney
