Lion
" I came face to face with a lion once. To make matters
worse, I was alone and weaponless..."
"Goodness! What did you do?"
"What could I do? First I tried looking straight into his
eyeballs, but he kept crawling up on me. Then I thought
of plunging my arm down his throat, grabbing him by the
tail and turning him inside out, but I decided it would be
too dangerous. Yet, he kept creeping up on me; I had to
think fast..."
"How did you get away?"
"I just left him and passed on to the other cages."
"After Wizard of Oz I was typecast as a lion and there just aren't that many roles for lions in Hollywood." - Bert Lehr
The roaring lion in the MGM logo was named Volney and lived at the Memphis Zoo.
