Dear
All
It is time for me to chuck in the sponge. To retire from films and stage. The heart for it has gone out of me: it won’t come back.
It is time for me to chuck in the sponge. To retire from films and stage. The heart for it has gone out of me: it won’t come back.
My professional acting life, stage and screen, has brought me
public support, emotional fulfillment and material comfort. It has brought me
together with fine people, good companions with whom I’ve shared the inevitable
lot of all actors: flops and hits.
However, it’s my belief that one should decide for oneself when it
is time to end one’s stay. So I bid the profession a dry-eyed and profoundly
grateful farewell.
Ever

I should say thus far only the material comfort
has eluded me fully.
