The wisdom of literature is quite antithetical to having opinions. 'Nothing is my last word about anything,' said Henry James.

My problem was that I was blond. There were no heroes with blond hair. Robert Taylor and Henry Fonda, they all had dark hair. The only one I found was Van Johnson, who wasn't too cool. He was a nice, homely American boy. So I created my own image. It worked. Votes: 2
