Today, rewinding to him in Of Mice and Men (1939) alongside Lon Chaney Jr. or Second Chorus (1940) with Fred Astaire is unsettling; the resemblance is evident, yet it seems somehow not to be him. But that other Burgess Meredith was everything else, from a Shakespearean actor to the quacking Penguin in TV's Batman. He directed himself and Charles Laughton in The Man on the Eiffel Tower, co-produced On Our Merry Way with Henry Fonda and James Stewart, and made three Twilight Zone episodes in 1959.

It's probably not a healthy comment that Grant is being recognized for just being a good person, but it's time we get back to that." Pistons coach Don Chaney agrees: "Grant is headed for stardom. You can't talk it, and you can't teach it. The fans are getting hungry-hungry-and are getting tired of immature athletes. They want something better."
