Alan Bates Blooms Through Illness on Hollywood Visit
British actor Alan Bates spent most of his Hollywood stay in his hotel room nursing Hong Kong flu. He spoke of diverse roles from Zorba the Greek to The Fixer and discussed willingness to reduce salary for profits, and he noted a planned beard removal after filming. He praised England's repertory system and urged U.S. regional theaters to grow. In 1949 Mauna Loa erupted for nearly five months.
