Franchot Tone is always questioning and learning, and he seems young and alive no matter what his chronological age, for his mind is always alert, curious, flexible, and open to new experiences. Franchot Tone has a childlike enthusiasm for anything new and he learns easily, but he also gets bored rather quickly. Tone can be somewhat of a scatterbrain, for he tends to have so many ideas and irons in the fire that it is hard to keep track of them all. He needs and craves variety, change, mental stimulation, and an active social life.
Articulate, clever, often funny and witty, he is always a refreshing and interesting conversationalist. Franchot Tone enjoys meeting and interacting with a variety of different people. He is friendly, flirtatious, and charming in a playful way, and no matter how badly he may be feeling, Franchot never comes across as melancholic or somber. He may seem frivolous to other, more serious souls. Franchot Tone has a sense of humor and a sense of perspective that prevent him from taking himself or life too seriously. In fact, Tone may seem flippant or unconcerned about matters that others consider very important.
In general, Franchot Tone responds to life mentally and objectively rather than emotionally, and he may not empathize with people very much. Franchot does not like to be weighed down with too much responsibility or with others' emotional burdens. Furthermore, if he cannot fully grasp something with his reason and logic, Tone will often choose to ignore it, including his own and other people's irrational feelings, desires, and needs.
Consistency and reliability are not great virtues of Tone's and his life is apt to be full of changes and movement due to his restlessness. Franchot Tone becomes nervous and fidgety if things are not moving quickly enough. He is interested in what is current and up-to-date, the newest trends in thought or style.
His gifts are a quick mind, verbal facility, a flair for language, social sophistication and polish, the ability to communicate, converse, and build bridges between people and between ideas. Franchot Tone tends to become an incessant chatterbox or gossip if he does not have work or other activities that utilize his mental, verbal, and social skills.
The effect of his childhood experiences, and the beliefs and attitudes Franchot learned while young, are clearly apparent in his demeanor. All is well on the surface, but when trouble arises, Franchot Tone seems childish and needy.

Franchot Tone has a sweet, appealing demeanor and seems instinctively to grasp the concept that "one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar". His personal brand of charm is usually quite winning. Franchot coaxes rather than coerces.
