Palin turned down move to Hollywood
- 27 Nov 2009
Monty Python star Michael Palin refused to take his career to Hollywood - because he prefers the comfort of his British home.

Not for everyone of course – there were always bit parts for grannies, and occasionally a star of significant magnitude might parlay her fame into a second career as a horror icon (Bette Davis; Joan Crawford). But those were the exceptions. More typical was the case of Janet Leigh: a Hollywood starlet groomed at the tail... Read more
