When I die, my epitaph should read: She Paid the Bills. That's the story of my private life.

I was 25 and the most popular celebrity in the world, with the possible exception of my friend Mary Pickford.

Sunset Boulevard opened in August 1950, and it was pronounced the best movie ever made about Hollywood.

I entered the cosmetics industry because I wanted more women to use cosmetics made with safe, healthful ingredients.

I became a fanatic about healthy food in 1944.

I didn't want to spend the rest of my life playing Norma Desmond over and over again.

As Daddy said, life is 95 percent anticipation.
