Ronald Colman, although then in the twilight of his career, had been for three decades just about the most world famous English movie actor alive.
We went to his house and who should open the door but the man himself.
He offered his hand first to me and said in his famous velvety voice: "My dear fellow, do come in. My mother is your greatest fan."
I was moved to say, "Never mind your mother, how about you?" But I was too overwhelmed to say anything. But the mere thought of Ronald Colman's mother listening to my talks... This was some time in the early 1950s.
