"Am I being typecast as a horrible person? I don’t know. I don’t think so. But if it happens, I’d rather get to play that, because there’s nothing fun about being sweet. Sweet can be so boring, so I’d be happy staying away from that."
I would like to be remembered as someone who accomplished useful deeds, and who was a kind and loving person. I would like to leave the memory of a human being with a correct attitude and who did her best to help others.
Happy Birthday Grace Patricia Kelly | November 12th, 1929 - September 14th, 1982

"This ‘King’ stuff is pure bullshit. I eat and sleep and go to the bathroom just like everybody else. There’s no special light that shines inside me and makes me a star. I’m just a lucky slob from Ohio. I happened to be in the right place at the right time, and I had a lot of smart guys helping me - that’s all."

Happy Birthday Joan Blondell (August 30th 1906 - December 25th 1979)
In the 20s, you were a face. And that was enough. In the 30s, you also had to be a voice. And your voice had to match your face, if you can imagine that.
Happy Birthday Charles Farrell (August 9th 1901 – May 6th 1990)

Happy Birthday Myrna Loy
(August 2, 1905 – December 14, 1993)
"I was glamorous because of magicians like George J. Folsey, James Wong Howe, Oliver Marsh, Ray June, and all those other great cinematographers. I trusted those men and the other experts who made us beautiful. The rest of it I didn’t give a damn about. I didn’t fuss about my clothes, my lighting, or anything else, but, believe me, some of them did."

Happy 97th Birthday Olivia Mary de Havilland | 1 July, 1916
In his autobiography, My First Hundred Years in Hollywood, Jack L. Warner recalled when he first saw Olivia in 1934: “I saw a girl with big, soft brown eyes, like those in a Keane portrait, and a fresh young beauty that would soon stir a lot of tired old muscles around the film town. She had a voice that was music to my ears. Like a cello, low and vibrant…" Warner would learn in time that the docile, quiet manner was the mere exterior of a young lady of inner strength and unbending determination. Later he described her as having “a brain like a computer concealed behind those fawnlike brown eyes."

I didn't want to be perpetually cooing in a lady's ear. There's not much satisfaction in it.
