Quotable Quotes:

""Pretending to still be the tough man of action isn't dignified for me any more. There comes a time when you're over the hill and there are plenty of great looking younger actors who can take your place. The action stars of today are making some wonderful films. There are no 'I could do it better' feelings in me. The younger they come, the better they get. That's why Olympic records are broken." (from a 1987 interview)" (IMDB)

"The life and legacy of Rod Taylor will continue to live on in the hearts of his fans, as his charismatic presence and exceptional talent in the film industry will never be forgotten. (V)"
