#Quote
1I will never retire. Put that down and underline it. The world is too nice - and so have been all the breaks.
2Me temperamental? I never was. Proof of that is that I made four pictures with Willie Wyler, who is a very demanding director. I made two with Rouben Mamoulian who is the same. Two with Ernst Lubitsch, such a dear man.
3TV is the toughest medium because there's more strain, but the theatre requires the most work. Movies are the easiest. You can sip coffee between takes.
4[on being directed in 'Virginia City' by Michael Curtiz] (He was) a complete madman - mad and adorable. For twelve weeks he yelled at me and I yelled back at him. We're exactly alike.
5How can a motion picture reflect real life when it is made by people who are living artificial lives?
6I'm a bad judge of a play or film. I turned down It Happened One Night (1934). It won Claudette Colbert an Oscar. I said it was just a silly comedy.
#Fact
1She is buried at Oak City Cemetary in Bainbridge, Georgia, USA [May 2011]
2She was a lifelong progressive Democrat who strongly supported the presidencies of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and Lyndon Johnson. In the 1930s and '40s she served as the second vice president of the Hollywood Democratic Committee.
3In July, 1972, despite concerns about her health and a premonition that she shouldn't travel, she flew to New York to attend the special screening of "Story of Temple Drake," celebrating the 60th anniversary of Paramount Pictures, followed by a gala party in her honor at the Museum of Modern Art. Just as she had feared, she suffered a major heart attack and died in her hotel suite before getting back to her California home.
4She was Margaret Mitchell's first choice to play Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939).
5Turned down the part of Ellie Andrews in It Happened One Night (1934). Claudette Colbert was then given the role and won a Best Actress Oscar for her performance.
6In 1932, at a time when single-parent adoption was illegal in most states, she adopted a baby boy while between marriages. She adored her son, Michael, and always called him the most important man in her life.
7Is portrayed by Sheilah Wells in The Scarlett O'Hara War (1980)
8Was good friends with actress Kay Francis.
