F. Murray Abraham played Salieri, the composer and rival of Mozart.  He tells the story when he is old and that was my only task, to age Abraham to eighty-ish.  It was the best job I ever had.  I did all the work, had plenty of time, total cooperation, proper screen test, etc.  And it won me OSCARS in America and England.
