I have a role now that I think becomes me. I am a grandmother.

My departure from Hollywood was described as a walk-out. No one understood that I was cracking up.

When you have spent an important part of your life playing Let's Pretend, it's often easy to see symbolism where none exists.

What a different world it was when I first sailed for Europe in 1930, with my mother, sister, and brother to spend six months abroad.

It was the fashion of the time, still is, to feel that all actors are neurotic, or they would not be actors.

In the months leading up to World War II, there was a tendency among many Americans to talk absently about the trouble in Europe. Nothing that happened an ocean away seemed very threatening.

Everyone should see Hollywood once, I think, through the eyes of a teenage girl who has just passed a screen test.
