MINI BIO:
Wide-mouthed, toad-faced and totally magnetic, Edward G. Robinson made his name in gangster films, spatting out dialog like bullets from a machine-gun. Robinson also brought great power to quieter roles. His career was somewhat harmed by the Communist witch-hunts. He received a Special Academy Award in 1972. In later life, he was acknowledged as an art expert and avid collector.

Edward G. Robinson Quotes:
Gino Monetti: I don't even read the old one. Why?
Lilia: Dathan, if you fear God, let me go.
Dathan: I am here, girl, because I would put no fear in a desert god and his mud-pit prophet. I am here because I bowed lower than my brothers before the Egyptians. Now the Egyptians bow low before me. Joshua wanted you. Baka wanted you. But you belong to me, a gift from Rameses.
Lilia: I will bow before you, Dathan. I will work my hands raw for you. But please do not shame me before my Lord.
Dathan: Your lord is the govenor of Goshen.
Lilia: What difference to my shame?
Dathan: No difference to you, my dove of Cannan, but to a condemned slave like Joshua it could mean the difference between death on the spikes and life in the copper mines of Sinai. What would you do to influence his excellency's clemency?
Lilia: [sobbing] Anything, Dathan, anything.
Dathan: Joshua will always be grateful to you.
Lancey Howard: [thinking on what he said to Lady Fingers] No, Lady; he hasn't gotten to me. Not yet; but he might, he just might.
