Hey, that George Sanders was quite the character as Mr. Freeze in TV's Batman, plus with Angela Landsbury in first: that 1947 film version of the Guy de Maupassant novel of: "The Private Affairs of Bel Ami", and then second in their: Samson and Delilah film, of I like that Tom Jones 1960s song too. Of Sanders was in many marriages and then had a stroke, but strong enough to tug his Grand Piano out of his house and smashed it with an ax of then he sold his house in Spain as insisted by his much younger Mexican girlfriend to his regret of to depression and suicide as told to Peter Sellers in his book of the Sanders prediction in the 1930s that he would do so at age 65 in 1972 and left several suicide notes of us remainders in this "sweet cesspool". - - Joe

I also like Sanders in The House of the Seven Gables (1940) with Vincent Price.

I think you will find Joe that it was David Niven who said George had predicted his suicide at the age of 65.
I liked Sanders and enjoyed most things he did,he made a great Saint before Roger Moore made it his own.
and lots of good films.
as for using an Axe on his piano he should have used it on Zsa Zsa

Thanks for the correction flynn, of on another BING search I found at: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/person/169430%7C59366/George-Sanders/ =

" His last wife was Magda Gabor*, his second wife's sister; the marriage lasted a year. It was during this period that he completed his autobiography, Memoirs of a Professional Cad. Sanders committed suicide in Castelldefels (a coastal town near Barcelona, Catalonia) with an overdose of barbiturates, leaving behind a suicide note that attributed his action to boredom. His friend David Niven recorded in his autobiography that Sanders had predicted his own suicide many years earlier. "

* I had never heard of this other Gabor, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magda_Gabor who died in 1997 = 2 months after her mother died.
