I wish I could get a copy of his autobiography "Memoirs of a Professional Cad". It's out of print and extremely expensive, but apparently he did not hold back at all with his opinions. I bet it's a great read.
All I know about his personal life is that his suicide note was short and to the point.
"I'm bored."
@Kevin Sweeney I remember reading about that. I only know anecdotes about him that are written in other biographies: like he was very much a bisexual and on the set of some film, another actor insinuated that Sanders had bonked Tyrone Power into having the heart attack which killed him, so Sanders stabbed the guy with a sword he was using for their sword fight. And that during the filming of "All About Eve" Sanders was married to Zsa Zsa Gabor and she showed up one day because she needed George to go shopping with her and the director said, "We're making a fucking picture, honey." I love Sanders' voice. Smooth. Even Shere Khan was seductive. He was great in "The Picture of Dorian Gray", "All About Eve" and so many others.
Have you seen any of his "The Saint" or "Falcon" series? I really like him in "Death of a Scoundrel"
I keep missing "The Saint" movies on TCM. A few months ago I did see the Hiledgarde Withers movies with Edna Mae Oliver and she's so flipping funny.
