Consequently, it is the one gesture in their lives
completely devoid of self-consciousness."

"Childhood is a short season."
"There are five stages in the life of an actor:
Who's Mary Astor?
Get me Mary Astor.
Get me a Mary Astor Type.
Get me a young Mary Astor.
Who's Mary Astor?"
"When I see the road I've taken,
I have to say that thanks to good luck,
because without good luck one can do nothing,
I've come out pretty well."

Great post, Cloudia. Danno was the reason my grandmother loved Hawaii 5-0.
Very good quotes. Dano promoted Hawaii more than anyone else!
G' Day From Australia, I heard about the passing of James Mac Arthur on the 6.00am news this morning a very sad loss. I wondered at the time if James Mac Arthur filmed a cameo for the new Hawaii Five-O that would have been a fantastic tribute to him.
Hawaii 5-0 is one of the top movie in prime time TV slot when I was young ! Thanks for the tribute to a talented man !
My prayers are there !

I often wondered what happened to Dano! What does he do now looking like he does in your later photo of him. Nor did I know he was the son of Helen Hays...
how interesting!

When I see the road I have taken i say "shit, it's only been this far, man I got a long way to go."
Mahalo sista
