Demons? Well, he was quite a drinker. There's a story of he and Burton having a contest while they were both on Broadway at the same time to see who could go out on stage having drunk the most. I doubt it happens, but it gives you an idea of the company he kept. He also smoked like a fiend (thus dying of lung cancer at only 68) and was quite the womanizer in spite of staying married to Catherine Craig for close to fifty years. In spite of all that, everything I've ever heard or read was that he was the professional's professional, so even with all that, it never affected his work.
