A TRIBUTE TO ACTOR RICHARD DEACON

August 3, 1963

"My first reaction to Morey was shock," Deacon said. "I'm a disciplined actor who adheres to every word of script. But not Morey the ad-libber. He wings it.  At first this caused me great confusion. Now I'm used to him and I respect him, but occasionally his genius still unnerves me.  Like no matter what anybody says he'll always top them. I keep telling him: 'Morey, can't I just please have the last word once?' But it never happens." -tv guide
