    Charlie Chan

    Joseph Cotten - Unsung Movie Great

    HE WAS SO SMOOTH!! Amazing! I believed I was the only one of my generation (Babyboomers Class B) That recognized how well he practiced his craft. If I had chosen to be an actor, Joseph Cotton would be at the very top of a short list of tutor/mentors, along with Jessica Tandy and Brock...
