Wonderfully handsome man. I highly suggest reading his autobiography! He write like he speaks and writes it in such a friendly manner, not saying anything bad about anyone even though you can sometimes tell they might not have gotten along. Robert Osborne said that Jo Cotten was one of the nicest guys in Hollywood!
