-->'''Percy Adlon:''' Jack Palance at that time had a bad reputation. He was out of luck. I said, “I need somebody for this character who reeks of Hollywood,” and an actress from ''Series/GeneralHospital'' recommended him. [[DoingItForTheArt He passed on a $1 million offer to do a big TV series to make our film]] and his agents were angry at him, but it was great. He got the Oscar for ''Film/CitySlickers'' but they said he really got it for ''Bagdad Café''.
