Richard Denning : It takes money to make money. Anything worth having is worth working for.
Richard Denning was a very giving man. However, if someone was in need of financial help, he was more likely to help them find a job rather than giving them money.
Richard Denning actually had a paper doll fashioned after him for the "Karen" series that he had. Recently I found three uncut sets and gifted them to his daughter and granddaughters for Christmas 2006. All were amazed and said that Richard probably never knew they existed.
When Richard first broke into acting, he decided to shorten his name from Denninger to Denning as it sounded too much like "Dillinger," the gangster from the same time period.
Richard's favorite Christmas Carol was "Silent Night." In an email his daughter shared with me that when she was a child, she played it one Christmas Eve for him at Church on the violin and it made him cry.
Richard was married to Scream Queen of the 40s/50s horror movies, Evelyn Ankers. Ankers was engaged to Glenn Ford, when she met Denning.
Richard Denning portrayed Governor Paul Jameson on "Hawaii Five-O" from 1968-1980, however he did a guest appearance as Treasury Agent Phillip Grey in the episode "24 Kt Kill." It has often been speculated that whomever was originally to play the role couldn't keep the obligation and Denning, being a quick study volunteered to help fill the role.
