Yes, one needs to be careful about loose talk! I once was doing a poster sale and my assistant called Barbara Payton "a slut." This of course was a joking comment because he didn't know Barbara Payton at all. He was just referring to her roles. But the guy he was talking to teared up and got silent -- it tuned out that Payton was his MOTHER. I never forgot that, seriously. And I never make comments about personalities until I know who I'm talking to. Apparently this kid (he was in college) had had a sad history with his mom.
