Phillip Terry Quotes:

Wick Birnem: If it happens, it happens and I hope it does. I've had six years of this. I've had my bellyfull... Who are we fooling? We've tried everything, haven't we? We've reasoned with him. We've baited him. We've watched him like a hawk. We've tried trusting him. How often have you cried? How often have I beaten him up? Scrape him out of a gutter and pump some kind of self-respect into him and back he falls, back in every time.
Helen St. James: He's a sick person. It's as though there was something wrong with his heart or his lungs. You wouldn't walk out on him if he had an attack. He needs our help.
Wick Birnem: He won't accept our help. Not Don, he hates us. He wants to be alone with that bottle of his. It's all he gives a hang about. Why kid ourselves? He's a hopeless alcoholic.


Scot Webster: [Screaming to Dr. Perry] You want my brain after I'm dead?
[He laughs hysterically]
Scot Webster: Help yourself, mister! Help yourself!


Dr. Paul Talbot: [to June] You try to hide what you are in the fumes of whisky.

Phillip Terry Facts
Was introduced to Joan Crawford in May of 1942 by drama critic Harry Mines. The couple wed six weeks later on July 21, 1942. He became the stepfather of Christina Crawford. The couple later adopted a son, Phillip Terry, Jr. Upon their divorce in 1946, Phillip Sr. waived his rights as father to Phillip, Jr., only on the condition a trust would be be set up for the boy to pay for his college education. Joan legally changed the boy's name to Christopher.

While training at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, he picked up a strong British accent. Deemed "too British" after being signed by MGM, he trained with vocal coaches and drama teachers in order to lose the accent.

Died at his home in Santa Barbara, was cremated, and his ashes scattered into the Pacific Ocean.
