girl sex home
From early Colonial days, sex life in America had been based on the custom of men supporting women. That situation reached its heyday in the Twenties when it was easy for any dabbler in stocks to flaunt his manhood by lavishing an unearned income on girls. But with the stock-market crash, men were hard put even to keep their wives, let alone spend money on sex outside the home. The adjustment was much easier on women than on men, who jumped out of windows in droves, whereas I can't recall a single headline that read: KEPT GIRL LEAPS FROM LOVE NEST.
running home thinking
I always think that the most delightful thing about traveling is to always be running into Americans and to always feel at home.
bored consider high order
Tallulah never bored anyone, and I consider that humanitarianism of a very high order indeed.
ambition people hollywood
When I was very young and first worked in Hollywood, the films had bred in me one sole ambition: to get away from them; to live inthe great world outside movies; to meet people who created their own situations through living them; who ad-libbed their own dialogue; whose jokes were not the contrivance of some gag writer.

I've never known a Philadelphian who wasn't a downright 'character'; possibly a defense mechanism resulting from the dullness of their native habitat.
stars world normal
And a Famous Film Star who is left alone is more alone than any other person has ever been in the whole Histry of the World, because of the contrast to our normal enviromint.
california climate hot
Nobody can tell about this California climate. One minit its hot and the next minit its cold, so a person never knows what to hock.
order bored bores
Tallulah [Bankhead] never bored anyone, and I consider that humanitarianism of a very high order indeed.
girl doe boards
I always say that a girl never really looks as well as she does on board a steamship, or even a yacht.
solitary drinkers
Always go to the solitary drinker for the truth!
age pasta silhouettes
And what, for instance, would have happened had Romeo and Juliet lived to middle age, their silhouettes broadened by pasta?
girl fun laughing
Fun is fun but no girl wants to laugh all of the time.
