Back in the 1950s and '60s, J. M. Barrie's 'Peter Pan' — starring Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard — was regularly aired on network television during the Christmas season. I must have seen it four or five times and remember, in particular, Ritchard's gloriously camp interpretation of Captain Hook.

My motto is: more good times...I always want to think of myself as an underdog...Wait a minute...Character is higher than intellect...Nothing has more strength than dire necessity...When I was able to go to school in my early years...
