In"You Can't Fall Off the Floor and Other Life Lessons From a Life in Hollywood," Harris Katleman and his grandson share what really happened in the early careers of Hollywood stars and the development of iconic programs such as 'The Simpsons.
That included a number of A-listers, including Grace Kelly, Fred MacMurray, Howard Keel and future president of the United States Ronald Reagan. But the most notorious was none other than Marlon Brando, Hollywood's favorite mumbler. This wasn't the Marlon who waddled into the jungles of the Phillippines one hundred pounds overweight to shoot, but he was certainly on his way. All the rumors about Marlon Brandon's craziness are understated.
"It seems like you've all failed to date. I'll take the shot," I said. After the staff meeting, Lew grabbed me. But I believed that John Michael Hayes could be the little writer that could, so I set the meeting with Hitchcock. To everyone's surprise, Hitch gave John the assignment to write a film calledat $1,000 per week. As John was used to writing one-hour radio shows in seven days, he finished the script in six weeks.
To reiterate, I hadn't the slightest clue what the bank was talking about. No one had told me anything about selling a portion of the company. I told the head of accounts that I would call him back and reached out to Al Benedict, the president of MGM Grand. "Chemical Bank's about to renege on our loan. Supposedly Kirk [Kerkorian] cashed a check for $5 million, and they smell a rat.
Khashoggi had cruised down the coast of the French Riviera for the Cannes International Film Festival and invited Kirk abroad. He didn't object to Kirk's plus two: myself and Cary Grant. The boat was unbelievable. The top deck had more beautiful woman than a party at the Playboy mansion. Khashoggi gave me, Kirk, and Cary a private tour of the vessel, through the A-plus kitchen and dining hall, the lavish rooms and ornate lounges.
"If you foreclose on us, you better have $10 billion in assets," I told him when he answered, "because that's what we'll sue you for." He apologized sincerely after I explained the circumstance to him. "Next time, take a look at the check before calling me with idle threats. It has Adnan Khashoggi's name on it."
