John Dunning Quote
This was not an isolated incident. Crosby in private was easygoing but distant. He was easy to write for, seldom fussing or making major changes in the script. But if he got his back up, there was little room in his makeup for compromise. He has no friends, his brother Bob told jazz historian Leonard Feather years later. He was seen by some as cold, even ruthless in business matters. He could pass through town without bothering to call a brother he hadn’t seen in two years. He had built a sort of cellophane bag around himself, Bob Crosby told Feather. He lives in this bag and opens it now and then for a little while. You can only get inside for a minute, then he shuts you out.
