Leonard Maltin Quotes:
Ocupation: Film critic
Life: b. December 18, 1950
Birthday: December 18
I can't think of another actor who acquired stardom so quickly, who held it for such a short time, and then kept it for such a long time.

I don't think there's another example like it in the entire history of movies.
