Quotes
Citation de Robert Conrad en novembre 1961: "Je pense qu'il y a très peu de gens vraiment, dont la conduite réfléchit défavorablement sur le reste de nous du royaumes mythique d'Hollywood. Il y a des hommes qui ont besoin de beaucoup de femmes afin de soutenir leurs égos, la moitié du temps ils ne se rappellent pas de leurs noms après. Mais j'ai un bon moi à commencer et je suis trop sensible pour un rapport rapide avec une dame et seul le sexe ne serait jamais assez pour moi. Le mariage est quelque chose qui va manière au delà de la chair. Chaque être humain à son propre besoin de sécurité...Il est grand espoir que quelqu'un se penche dessus...est grand de faire s'appuyer quelqu'un sur vous".
