Indeed. He was married to Elsa Lanchester for 30+ years.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! The quote makes me think of “The Night of the Hunter” and how Laughton never received the recognition he deserved for this film while he was still alive…

What a great film that is, too.
I think that Anderson/Laughton make for a very natural mashup. Perhaps a bit obvious, but wonderful.
