Bud Schulberg, RIP

"If you don't entertain, nobody's listening."

"Stop breathing clam sauce all over me!" (from "On the Waterfront" delivered by Lee J. Cobb as the character Johnny Friendly)

“It didn’t take a genius to tell you that something was vitally wrong with the country. The unemployment was all around us. The bread lines and the apple sellers. I couldn’t help comparing that with my own family’s status, with my father; at one point he was making $11,000 a week. And I felt a shameful contrast between the haves and the have-nots very early.” (from a 2006 interview)
