Claude Rains was what we call an actor's actor. He was very involved with himself and his performance.

I just finished my 11th book last week, so I'm ready to start the next one.

When I went back to New York with somewhat of a name, they didn't want movie actresses.

I quit after my seven-year contract with Universal was up. I quit for 33 years.

I've been very, very successful. It's very satisfying to me.

When I graduated from Santa Monica High in 1927, I was voted the girl most likely to succeed. I didn't realize it would take so long.

It was a struggle treating Claude Rains as my lover, but we were friendly. It was no great love affair.
