#Quote
1[About not seeing his own films] Perhaps it's because I'm too critical that I don't usually see my own stuff. Very often it's a weird experience, and sometimes it's a little nauseating.
2It's appropriate that I should have come in on the wings of a blizzard. I've been blowing up a storm ever since.
#Fact
1He was billed as Charles A. Bickford early in his career. The "A" stood for Ambrose.
2While rehearsing a scene for Universal's East of Java (1935), he was mauled by a 400-pound lion on his neck and shoulders, very close to his jugular vein. it required nearly a year for him to recover from the injuries.
3Amomg his outside interests were painting and a gold mine in San Bernadino.
4Served during WWI as a lieutenant in the Army Corps of Engineers.
5Bickford never placed all his eggs in one basket when it came to his financial security. At one time he owned a gas station and garage, a half interest in a pearling schooner, a pair of whaling boats, a hog farm, a chicken ranch, a lingerie shop, and purchased an island off the coast of the Indonesian island of Java where coconuts were harvested.
