[after having received “permission” from Samuel Goldwyn to get married] About a week before the wedding was planned I got a call from the casting director: “Let your hair and your beard grow. You’re going to be in a western”. So in the society column of the Santa Monica paper there was a picture of the two of us, me with this beard, and it said, “Mr. Andrews is an actor. Note the beard.”
