I read the anecdote about his not being an actor as 'I have 67 film reviews to prove it!'. Maybe it's wrong because it's funnier, but it'd be nice to have a reference to the exact words (if there is one!).
The quote I heard was, "I'm no actor - and I've 64 pictures to prove it!" He also said, "So you value your privacy? Then don't become a fucking actor!" Hilarious, great guy.
Any truth to the rumour that Victor was a cross-dresser?
- Never heard it in forty years of film history research with specialization in Mature's career. Never heard the rumor, I mean, much less any verification. Monkeyzpop 02:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Gypsy Heritage
Victor Mature is said to have Gypsy ancestry
[edit] Comedy
I feel it should be raised that Mature was also a very gifted comic actor - his highpoint being his superb self parody, in the Italian crime romp, After The Fox.
I also remember anecdotal evidence, that he refused to undertake any active role, which a stunt man could not do instead, partly out of the belief that it kept people in work.
