Rod and Archie

Rod Taylor
This one raven, Archie — There’s a still of me looking terrified with a bandage on or something, and I’m looking at this bird. That’s real terror. I hated that bird! That bird — every morning if I was on the set, we were on the set together, would come over and go “Ungg!” and bite me. And I hated him, and he hated me.

Even when we came back to the studio. And I think that shot on the veranda was taken in the studio. I’d walk in and say, “Is Archie working today?” And they’d say, “I don’t think so, Rod. I think we’re working with seagulls.” And out of the rafters would come Archie. And, you know, hated me. And would lie in wait for me. And I’m sure that bird’s still alive!

    That’s a great story.

    I think Taylor is just great, too.
