When they thought of me, they always remembered the vacuous Billie Dawn. It was as simple as that.
The only actress they didn't test was Garbo. Must have been her accent.
gave great maintain met
He didn't maintain my illusion of myself, he gave me an illusion of myself. Before I met him, I never thought of myself as an actress. Boy, he sidetracked me in a great way!
It meant as much to me as winning the Oscar.
I could talk about him all day. He's one of the most wonderful things that ever happened to me.
coming happened since
Now with all this movie business, everybody's coming around wanting to know everything that's happened since I was four. It's like going to an analyst.
quieter took until
They weren't interested in entertainment. They were tough. I learned one trick, which was to be quieter than they were until they had to look at you. It took a lot of agressiveness.
I think Billie is the kind of girl who would let her hips swing loose.
bit character london necessity originated remember sheer walking
I originated the character out of sheer necessity and a bit of intuition. They tell me I went on. But all I remember is walking in a London Fog.
expression people acting
Acting is a very limited form of expression and those who take it seriously are very limited people. I take it seriously.
past names organization
I am not a member of any organization listed by the Attorney General as subversive. In any instance where I lent my name in the past, it was certainly without knowledge that such an organization was subversive. I have always been essentially and foremost an American.
yesterday done next
I was bargaining for time away from Hollywood, and Columbia was bargaining for money. I got what I wanted and they got what they wanted. They knew I was so anxious to do Born Yesterday that I'd have done it for a dollar. They gave me the next best thing.
acting care firsts
It's tough when take 1 is technically okay and take 2 has better acting. Out here (Hollywood) they print the first one. That's the one where we all hit the mark on the floor and who cares about the acting.
clubs prestige owners
We gained a great deal of prestige, but not much money. We liked to work so much we couldn't hide it and the club owners paid us accordingly.
