Growing old gracefully used to begin at about 35, but today women prefer to 'stay young gratefully' with thanks to designers, beauticians and plastic surgeons.

I have yet to see one completely unspoiled star, except for the animals-like Lassie.

You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it.

Fashion is a language. Some know it, some learn it, some never will - like an instinct.

Many women have asked me if it is possible to have a well-built complete wardrobe on a limited budget. "Money," I tell them, "is no guarantee of taste and the fitness of things, and an overstuffed closet is often as bare as a skeleton when it comes to wearable apparel."

There's no such thing as a standard size movie star, or woman for that matter.

With women, there's a basic female instinct of caring deeply about the way they look; women stars have a narcissist complex.
