Photograph also used in article dated October 22, 1962. Photograph article dated July 7, 1962 partially reads, "Does Ramon Navarro [sic] miss the 'good old days' when he was one of Hollywood's big, big stars? 'I remember them fondly, of course,' he said reflectively, 'but miss them? Not in the least. I don’t believe people should ever look back. Look what happened to Lot's wife!' The 63-year-old star of the original 'Ben Hur' smiled then and raised his cup of coffee in a silent toast to the days that are gone. We were sitting in the living room of his North Hollywood apartment, located in just one of several apartment courts he owns in the Valley. 'No,' he said in his clipped Mexican accent, 'I prefer people to remember me for what I'm doing - not for what I did.'"
