We all have to learn, in one way or another, that neither men nor boys get second chances in this world. We all get new chances to the end of our lives, but not second chances in the same set of circumstances; and the great difference between one person and another is how he takes hold and uses his first chance, and how he takes his fall if it is scored against him.

About Richard Ney

Richard Ney

Richard Ney

Richard Ney (November 12, 1915 - July 18, 2004) was an American actor and investment counselor.

He was born in New York City, the son of Erwin Maximillian Ney and Rebie M. Flood. He was the grandson of the Rev. Theodore L. Flood, editor of The Chautauquan.

A graduate in economics from Columbia University, Ney is remembered best for his role in the Oscar-winning World War II film Mrs. Miniver (1942), and for his short-lived (1943 - 1947) marriage to his co-star Greer Garson, who played his mother in the film.

Ney's one Broadway venture was the 1958 musical Portofino , which he produced and for which he wrote the book and lyrics. It closed after three performances.

He acted mostly in television with occasional film roles until the mid-1960s, by which time he had successfully transitioned to a career as an investment counselor. He wrote three highly critical books about Wall Street, asserting that the market was manipulated by market makers to the detriment of the average investor. The first of these, The Wall Street Jungle, was a New York Times bestseller in 1970. The second and third are The Wall Street Gang and Making It in the Market.
