Is It true Warner Brothers, wanted James Stephenson for the part of Dr.Alexander Tower In Kings Row, but died of a fatal heart attack before filming began? I await your reply.
You are absolutely right, Mr. Bulger. James Stephenson was scheduled to play the part, but suffered a heart attack. So Hal Wallis called Claude Rains. Rains declined instantly, but they tried again, rushed him the book, and he finally agreed to break-off his vacation and make the long train journey west. According to Wallis, Rains' refusal to fly meant a considerable delay in their schedule.
