Richard Basehart(1914-1984)

He and his wife Diana were the founders of the organization, Actors and Others for Animals, in 1971. They had been driving on a freeway and were appalled when someone threw a dog onto the freeway from a vehicle in front of them. It was too late for that animal, but they vowed to make things different in the future for others.

Nothing irritates me more than actors who take all the money and then complain about how terribly limited TV is. That kind of talk only reflects on them.
