What Academy Award winning actor carried a candy bar in the pocket of his suit at all times?

[Mahaloth]

I tried Googling this, but can't find it. Anyone heard of this?

My wife is reading a book and part of the book is about the power of food and how some people are deeply affected by food-related fears. In the book it says:

....one highly acclaimed Academy Award-winning actor always carried a candy bar in the pocket of his suit, no matter where he went or what he did. He once fished it out and showed it o an interview on TV.

The actor was terribly poor as a child and had terrible fears of not being able to eat.

The book is The Connected Child and the quote is on page 52 if you care.

Anyway, the fact that it says "carried" makes me think he is dead. However, and I have no idea why this is, the book does not say who the actor is/was.

Anyone better at finding these things than me?

I guess this might be Cafe Society stuff, but it is such a GQ, I put it here.
