Air Quote by Tab Hunter
“Once in a while a good opportunity would come along, like the first 'Playhouse 90 ever to air - working in television afforded me my best opportunities.

They didn't know what kind of films people wanted. The European films were making a huge impact because those films wanted real people in real situations.”
