“At MGM there was a script cage in the basement where they’d show rushes. And I thought to myself, “How do I get into the script cage and find out what my future is?” I climbed into the script cage one night and spent the whole night in there. I saw the bowels of MGM. I saw the studio scripts that the producers had seen; the writers had just handed them in. And I started thinking this is a chance to pick my own roles.” ThinkingWholeShowsNightChanceMy OwnRolesSawsPicksScriptsStudiosProducersCagesOne NightMy FutureBasementsBowelsMgm Author:George Hamilton
