Hey Taeylor,
that anecdote about Grayson and Davis IS a hoot. Have you ever heard the radio interview with Grayson, Humbert, Jonathan, Rodan, and Davis? Don Briscoe is in it for a little bit, too. It's on one of the CDs--really great stuff.
Roger Davis' habit of literally pushing his female co-stars around on the sets of DS is well documented. I believe that KLS talked about it in the original edition of Scrapbook Memories, and Marie Wallace has mentioned it in many interviews. In the KLS book on the DS movies (which includes the original screenplays) she reprinted a diary she had kept during the shooting of hoDS and the funniest part is when Dan suggests to her that he liked her and Roger Davis together in the movie so much that he wanted Roger to be her new leading man on DS. She immediately says how she's going to fatten up on pastries to try and keep out of Roger's clutches. I got to hear her reading from this at one of the Festivals years ago and the audience reaction to these passages is something I'll never forget.
cheers, Gothick
