But Katherine Hepburn accepted him; he wanted to be a movie star — he had just finished doing The Wiz. And he had a tape recorder with him, and every day I (Jane Fonda) would bring him to the set, and in between scenes she would sit down in a chair and pull over a chair for him and tell him stories. I wish I knew where those tapes were. And every story embedded a lesson: for example, she talked about Laurette Taylor — and anyone who was alive to see Laurette Taylor in Glass Menagerie has seen as great a moment of acting as there is. So she described to Michael seeing this transcendent piece of acting and how she then saw her 25 or 30 years later playing the same role, and the magic was gone. And she said to Michael, ‘She wasn’t hungry anymore.’ What a great thing to say to a young, rising star like Michael: ‘You gotta stay hungry.’ “
YOU GOTTA STAY HUNGRY IN WHAT YOU DO IN LIFE!
