Michael Rennie Quotes:

King Edward: Tell me, when you refuse me your loyalty because I am a Norman, have you not considered that I have no choice in the same matter - that I must be king for Norman and Saxon alike whether I like it or not. Do you, Saxon, not owe something besides hatred to the same cause?


Roger Forsyth: You're sort of a mystery man even to your friends.

Michael Rennie Facts
Once married to British actress Maggie McGrath, who later went by the stage name of Maggie Rennie. They had one son, David, born 1953.

A heavy smoker, Rennie had respiratory problems for many years. During the run of the Broadway comedy "Mary, Mary" in the early 60s, Rennie had to visit the hospital several times; this didn't prevent him from being hired to replay his role in the film version, Mary, Mary (1963). His voice was dubbed in the movie The Battle of El Alamein (1969) ("The Battle of El Alamein") due to his chronic health problems. Similarly, his own voice is not heard on the English-language dialogue track of his final film, Assignment Terror (1970) ("Assignment Terror").

His early career was interrupted by war service. He was a flight instructor for over two of those years.
