 | | Howard was by then an established star, and known for being competitive, meticulous and demanding: one costar reported that Howard counted script lines and had costars parts trimmed if their dialogue exceeded his own line count. |
 | | Howard, however, proved his quality and loyalty with a select few friends and costars, and such was the case in the wildly successful "Petrified Forest". |
 | | Howard, though in his mid 40s, was a hit as the young and disillusioned Southern aristocrat Ashley Wilkes in the film that set Oscar nomination records, and overshadowed his own success in "Pygmalion", which had earned him a second Oscar nod. |
