"A wealthy society lady saw my work, fell in love with me and sent me to art school."
The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer was Cary Grant's 50th full length feature film.
Susan: Did you have many ordeals before you became a success?
Richard Nugent: No, I...
Susan: You can talk to me. I want you to think of me, not as a newspaper woman, but as a friend.
Richard Nugent: Well, in that case, I'll tell you. I did suffer. When I was 10, my mother and father had a double suicide pact, they made it. I was sent to an orphanage. Some days they didn't beat me. Then one night I escaped, I ran away to New York. I used to steal.
Susan: What did you steal?
Richard Nugent: Beg your pardon?
Susan: What did you steal?
Richard Nugent: Crusts of bread... and things. One time I stole a valise. There were paints and paintbrushes inside. So I began to paint. Then they got me. I was sent to a reform school, but I escaped again.
Susan: Go on.
Richard Nugent: Back to new York. A wealthy society lady saw my work, fell in love with me and sent me to art school. The rest is history.
Susan: How wonderful. How terribly wonderful.
