Gary Gray(1936-2006)

At age 21, Gray met Connie Stevens for the first time when they appeared in the teen drama The Party Crashers (1958). Stevens recalled: "He said, 'I know you - you were president of my fan club.' I was absolutely stunned and shocked that he remembered me." Gray turned out to be everything she had expected when she watched him on screen during her teenage days - "kind, sweet, sparkly eyes and all.".

[on playing an uncredited role in A Woman's Face (1941), starring Joan Crawford] On one of my first movies, I was a kid playing hopscotch in the park. I fell down and cut my knee. Before my own mother could get to me, Miss Crawford ran, picked me up, took me into her trailer, cleaned my cut and gave me some chocolate. She did all this without publicizing it or telling anyone. I don't care what anyone says, she had to have had a decent side to her to do what she did for me for no reason other than to help a child who was hurt. Besides, she was dead when that book was written. She wasn't around to defend herself.
