Warner quotes

I'd like to thank all those who made this possibleespecially Jack Warner

-Julie originally Julia ElizabethWells Andrews
  Speech at the Oscar ceremony when she won an Academy Award for her role in Mary Poppins, 5  Apr. Warner had rejected her for the screen role of Eliza in My Fair Lady, although she had played it to great acclaim on the stage, preferring Audrey Hepburn whose singing had tobe dubbed.  Andrews had instead taken the part in Mary Poppins.

Working for Warner Brothers was like fucking a porcupineit's a hundred pricks against one.

-Wilson Mizner
Quoted in David Niven Bring on the Empty Horses (1975).
