#	Quote
1	The French cinema at its best remains uniquely French, and our best British films have only succeeded when they remain indigenous. When we try to capture the vital American market, we design a horse and end up with a camel.
2	I remember saying to this particular savagely disturbed woman [who was protesting his movie The Stepford Wives (1975)] "You've missed the whole point. A, it's fantasy; B, if anybody looks stupid, it's the men. It's not an attack on women, it's an attack on women being exploited by men."
3	[in 2007] I was a writer who became an actor who became a screenwriter who became a director.
4	I may not have come up the hard way, but I have come up the whole way.
5	If you treat the production of films like the production of shoes, you end up with Hush Puppies.
6	An actor must have arrogance, conceit . . . I would never have made it as an actor, but I still have conceit.

#	Fact
1	He was replaced by Richard Lester as the director of Juggernaut (1974).
2	As of 2009 he was living in Wentworth, Surrey, England.
3	In June 2004 he was appointed President of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain.
4	In 1976 he wrote a shooting script from a screenplay by Christopher Wicking and John Starr for an unproduced Hammer film called "Nessie", about the Loch Ness monster.
5	Was originally going to direct movie Hopscotch (1980).
6	Took over the direction of The Madwoman of Chaillot (1969) after John Hustonwalked out shortly before filming was due to start.
7	Had a bad relationship with writer William Goldman on The Stepford Wives (1975), claiming he found Goldman arrogant and reluctant to rewrite his first-draft screenplay. Goldman in turn claimed that Forbes ruined the film by casting his wife Nanette Newman in a key role and that Forbes did all the rewriting himself at nights during filming. Despite this antagonism, Goldman got on well with Forbes' closest friend, 'Richard Attenborough' (qav), when they worked together soon after on both A Bridge Too Far (1977) and Magic (1978). Many years later Attenborough hired Forbes to write the screenplay for Chaplin (1992), but his draft was subsequently rewritten by . . . William Goldman (and others). Forbes was reportedly very upset by this; he has had no screenplay credits since then.
8	Of his script in The League of Gentlemen (1960), in which Forbes also played a major role, "Wall Street Journal" critic 'David Mermelstein' (aqv) said (in 2011) that "with the exception of 'The Coen Brothers', no one writes screenplays like that anymore".
9	Directed three actresses to Oscar nominations: Leslie Caron (Best Actress, The L-Shaped Room (1962)), Kim Stanley (Best Actress, Seance on a Wet Afternoon (1964)), Edith Evans (Best Actress, The Whisperers (1967)).
10	Owned and operated a small book shop in the village of Virginia Water from 1968-71.
11	Read the address at a small gathering of friends remembering the life of Jane Baxter (1909-96) at her local church in Wimbledon. She had made a specific request in her will that no formal memorial service be held.
12	Together with his long-time friend and collaborator Richard Attenborough, he established Beaver Films Limited, an independent production company which went on to produce three of their most respected films; The Angry Silence (1960), Whistle Down the Wind (1961) and Seance on a Wet Afternoon (1964). The name "Beaver" was apparently the invention of their wives, Nanette Newman and Sheila Sim. Today, now-Lord Attenborough, lives at Beaver Lodge.
13	A plaque to honor his career was unveiled at Elstree Studios, Borehamwood, on 3 February 2008. In addition to Forbes and his wife Nanette Newman, Richard Attenborough, one of Forbes' oldest friends, made a surprise guest appearance. This was the first visit by Forbes, the former Head of Production/Managing Director at EMI-MGM Elstree, for many years.
14	Established Allied Film Makers (AFM) in 1959 along with Richard Attenborough, Guy Green, Basil Dearden, Michael Relph and Jack Hawkins. AFM acted as a producers co-operative in conjunction with The Rank Organisation which provided 10% of the costs (but no artistic control). The first collaboration was The League of Gentlemen (1960) premiered in 1960 and was the sixth most successful box office film of 1960.
15	Educated at West Hammersmith Secondary School, Hammersmith, Middlesex, England.
16	His salary as Head of Production/Managing Director EMI-MGM Elstree was reported by The Times (March 26th 1971) as £35,000 p.a. The same article reported that at this time he could have been earning up to £150,000 per film had he continued his own successful career as actor/screenwriter/producer/director.
17	Served with Roger Moore in the British Army of Occupation in Germany in 1947.
18	Turned down the chance to direct the first James Bond movie, Dr. No (1962), because he thought it was going to be "just another bang-bang movie".
19	Donated his production files to The Margaret Herrick Library at the Fairbanks Centre for Motion Picture Study.
20	Biography in: John Wakeman, editor. "World Film Directors, Volume Two, 1945-1985". Pages 345-349. New York: The H.W. Wilson Company, 1988.
21	Left RADA before graduating after he was refused permission to take on professional acting roles to supplement his income.
22	An Associate Member of RADA.
23	He was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) for his services to the Arts in the 2004 Queen's Birthday Honours List.
24	Collaborated with composer John Barry on many of the films he directed, starting in 1962 with The L-Shaped Room (1962).
25	In a BBC News report in 2004, it was reported that he had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1975, but has been in remission for almost 30 years. He put his subsequent remission down to a gluten-free diet and a loving wife.
