  • Trivia
    Created a scandal when he and Hayley Mills, the former Disney child star whom he directed in The Family Way (1966) and who was 33 years younger than he, fell in love, moved in together for five years, then married in 1971 and had a son in 1973. They divorced in 1977.
  • Quotes
    [on Peter Sellers] He was ruthless, absolutely ruthless, as all great artists are ruthless. Behind that soft exterior he had an obsessional impulse to get his way. He was a child in that sense.
