Former Matinee idol Buddy Rogers bounded by the winding staircase to the third floor of his Beverly Hills mansion and called to his wife of 37 years: “Mary, darling. You have a visitor, pet.”

"I mean I just sit at the piano and play the piano. I'm in my 70s, I'm not a matinee idol. So why are you coming to see me in the first place? But it all has to do with the music."
