Moody was born in Tottenham, north London, England, the son of Kate (née Ogus; 1898-1980) and Bernard/Barnett Moodnick (1896-1964), a studio executive. His father was a Russian Jew and his mother was a Lithuanian Jew; said Moody, "I'm 100% Jewish—totally kosher!" He was a cousin of directorLaurence Moody and actress Clare Lawrence. His surname was legally changed to Moody in 1930.
"There are literally hundreds ... of legitimate public right of ways closed to public use."
"We're a small group of grumpy old men who simply will not be denied access to public land,"
"Public access to public land is the focal point"
"Retire from the stage altogether, so crushing the blow of a dream child's collapse."
"Public access is now a hot political issue. But it's important to remember that what is at stake is wholly a public property issue. Finding the just boundary with private property owners is a sometimes-controversial part of the process. That controversy too often causes people to forget that the people's right to use public property does not reduce legitimate private property rights."
"But people can register at the door until the room fills up."
"He was such a professional. ... He was always word perfect."
"We've lost a great artist and I've lost a great friend. We were more like Laurel and Hardy. We used to call ourselves Fagin and Dodger. We had that kind of bond between us. Jack really was cheated out of a great career."
"We try to create this type of atmosphere. When they succeed, they become known as an academic school instead of an athletic school."
"My portrayal of Fagin was all to do with my experience in comedy and revue."
"Playing Fagin in the play and film was a small miracle."

My ignorance cast in the mold of all things absolute I sustain forever my gaze. A stare fixed on the distant oblivion Resting in the inverted state of being dead, non-sensory matter As all the earth, the wind, the fire, the sea behold and
