I doubt it, Wasn't the bio published BEFORE 1984? -- Jessica Rosner Kino International 333 W 39th St. 503 NY NY 10018 [log in to unmask] > From: Scott Andrew Hutchins <[log in to unmask]> > Reply-To: Film and TV Studies Discussion List <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2003 23:26:05 -0500 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Ray Milland > > Does anyone know if he talks about _The Gold Key_ in his autobiography?
