:26:02
and Earl Holliman,
who was doing one of his first films.
:26:07
George was kind and good to everybody.
:26:11
I think he really treated us all as equals.
:26:14
The one thing that George did was,
he wanted to have...
:26:19
his actors ready and on set at all times.
:26:24
I certainly didn't resent it.
:26:26
I can't imagine
that many of the other actors did.
:26:29
I think Jimmy resented it. He thought,
"He doesn't think I'm important enough.
:26:35
"Therefore, he calls me all the time...
:26:38
"when I'm not needed."
Actually, George did that with everyone.
:26:42
Dad had his way of working,
which was to take his time.
:26:45
Jimmy was a young man in a hurry...
:26:48
and I think he got impatient...
:26:53
with the pace of things,
but Dad always cared about the result.
:26:59
Jimmy brought a great deal to that role...
:27:01
a kind of imagination,
and he was a very hard-working actor.
:27:06
He figured things out.
He worked with his little rope.
:27:09
He worked at his wardrobe.
:27:12
I don't think it ever crossed Dad's mind...
:27:16
that Jimmy Dean
wasn't the right person for that part.
:27:19
I think he gave kind of
a great edge and excitement...
:27:24
to the film in the way he played it.
:27:27
Carroll Baker is a very unique lady now.
:27:30
She was a very unique young lady then...
:27:34
when we made Giant.
:27:36
When I first showed up
on the Warner Brothers lot...
:27:40
first of all, I came from New York.
:27:43
It was going to be my first film.
:27:46
Warner Brothers was going to
put me under contract.
:27:50
They sent me a ticket, they put me up
in a hotel on Hollywood Boulevard.
:27:55
I arrived at the gate, and I gave my name...
:27:58
and the guard wouldn't let me in.
He'd never heard of me.
