[edit] The Misfits

Huston also directed The Misfits (film) with an all-star cast including Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Montgomery Clift, and Eli Wallach. Famously, Huston spent long evenings carousing in the Nevada casinos after filming, surrounded by reporters and beautiful women, gambling, drinking, and smoking cigars. Gable remarked during this time that 'if he kept it up he would soon die of it'. Ironically, and tragically, Gable died three weeks after the end of filming from a massive heart attack while Huston went on to live for twenty-six more years.

I added this bit, admittedly from memory, based on a PBS documentary. It's a great and poignant story. The source was a reporter who was interviewing Gable as he sat eating dinner mid-evening. If you don't like it, or don't think it's true, then say so here, please. Guernseykid 06:06, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citizenship

Ireland has no problem with dual or even triple citizenship (Margaret Hassan was an Irish, British and Iraqi citizen), so I've removed the qualification.--Dub8lad1 10:21, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
