MINI BIO:
George Macready was noted as one of America's most distinctive villains -- a blond, blue-eyed death's head of a man with an aristocratic sneer on the upper lip. Macready created a whole range of polished, distinguished nasties and scoundrels, nearly all with a civilized veneer (1946, Gilda, 1964, Dead Ringer). He died from emphysema just after retirement.

George Macready Quotes:
Emperor Maximillian:
You see, there's the Countess who'll occupy the coach. She's decided that she must see Paris again, and we... indulge her every whim. The Marquis's gravely concerned that she reach the ship in Vera Cruz safely.
Benjamin Trane: She will if the price is right.
Emperor Maximillian: I suppose when one deals with men of action, one just expect action. Does 25,000 in gold sound reasonable?
Benjamin Trane: A pretty figure but only half as pretty as the figure we're escorting to Vera Cruz.
Emperor Maximillian: I gather that double would increase your sense of responsibility.
Benjamin Trane: It would double it.
Emperor Maximillian: 50,000 it is then!
Younger Miles: If you expect me to sit around and watch you tear down everything I've built up, you're crazier than I think. I've worked hard to get where I am... and done everything a man can do. I've lied, cheated and stolen. I've even killed to build this set-up I've got now. And I'm not going to let any man destroy it. Least of all you.
Jafar: I have not schemed and murdered to be foiled by that piece of trash!
