There are worse things in life than being called a lady. - Irene Dunne

I couldn't advise others to try such a long distance marriage, but for us it works perfectly. We are three thousand miles apart, it is true, but the big thing is that we each have our careers without interference from the other. My husband can't leave his practice and I can't leave Hollywood, but neither of us has any thought of giving up either the career or each other. Some day we shall again live in our 'honeymoon' apartment - but in the meantime, for us, this is the best possible way.

I had great cameramen like Rudolph Mate and Hal Mohr. They'd take an hour to light the proper closeup of me.

If I arrived in Hollywood today, I would keep reminding myself not to try to make a big impression.
