Re: Q & A for Dana Andrews' Biographer

I appreciate your warm welcome. Dana never claimed to have a favorite role--not even the one that made him a star. And he didn't even like his role in Fallen Angel, which I consider his best because he plays a conflicted character who is very complex. Thanx so much for entertaining my questions, Mr...

Re: Q & A for Dana Andrews' Biographer

In various way (I can explain) he is connected to my other subjects, including Marilyn Monroe, Lillian Hellman, and Sylvia Plath. The interplay between Dana and Susan Hayward is magnificent.

Re: Q & A for Dana Andrews' Biographer

Welcome, Carl. Dana Andrews made CANYON PASSAGE (a vastly under-appreciated Western), CURSE OF THE DEMON , and THE FEARMAKERS (wherein Our Hero saves Democracy) with a favorite director, Jacques Tourneur .
