Handsome Mr Greene
laments the plight
of handsome actors
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1954.
RICHARD GREFNE has just begun his first major film in four years, so I drove down to the
to find out how he was surviving.
During those four years away he has made nothing but money and Robin Hood television films, and I suspected that he might be missing all those bows and arrows parked about the place. To say nothing of the comforting crackle of folding money.
"Well" he said, sitting me down in a chair in the sunshine. "Of course I do miss the series. Four years is a long time. And I'd happily have gone on for another year. But I had to come back to films sometime."
"Now that you're back." I said (he's co-starring with Eva Barick in Beyond the Curtain) "would you ever do a TV series again?"
"I've had plenty of offers," he said. "But nothing as good as Robin. Of course, when frst took thất a lot of my friends ancered a Httle, They took the view that I must be on the skids. Then when I began making money and bought an expensive sports car and a racing yacht they began to change their minds."
