George Glass
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Glass (1910 - 1984) was an American film producer and publicist, best known for his work with Stanley Kramer. In Kramer's 1997 autobiography, describing how he formed his first production company in the late 1940s, he called Glass "one of the best publicity men in town," and remarked "I was fortunate to get Glass, with whom I had worked in the Lewin-Loew partnership before the war. He was a bright man and a very smooth operator."[1]
Glass is widely credited with originating the witicism, "An actor is a guy who, if you ain't talking about him, he ain't listening."[2] (That quotation has also been attributed to Marlon Brando.)
[edit] In fiction
George Glass is the name of the non-existent boyfriend that Jan Brady made up in an episode of The Brady Bunch.[3]
