The studio stills that Hollywood tried to hide!
Tuesday’s classic Hollywood monster was an avid horn player trained in the finest old-school European tradition. He openly shared his experience and taught private lessons to a number of aspiring students.
In his later years he became overly-obsessed with accuracy. “Do it again, this time with 100% accuracy,” he was oft-quoted.
“That was all that mattered,” a former student remarked. “But oddly enough it seemed like the more I clammed, the more he actually liked it.”
“It was spooky – I swear he was hypnotizing me or something.”
