PERSONAL QUOTES
"People don't know my real self, and they're not about to find out."
"Ordinary mortals need but one birthday."
To interviewers: "Just call me a nice, clean-cut Mongolian boy."
Jean Cocteau: "Yul Brynner must be mad to imagine that he could be Yul Brynner."
Constance Towers loves working and recalls that while appearing in The King And I opposite Yul Brynner "I was very sick with meningitis, and my doctor said I couldn't do the show. I said, I've "got" to go back,' so the doctor came and stood in the wings. When he saw me on stage, he said, "I didn't know she had to do so much. She shouldn't be here'. And Yul said to him, 'You don't understand, this is where we get well'."
