I think that the most important thing a woman can have - next to talent, of course - is her hairdresser.

You know the troubles I've had with my two older children. I can't understand why it turned out so badly. I tried to give them everything. I loved them and tried to keep them near me, even when they didn't return my love. Well, I couldn't make them love me, but they could have shown some respect. I couldn't insist on love, but I could insist on respect.

Of all the actresses ... to me, only Faye Dunaway has the talent and the class and the courage it takes to make a real star.

Sensitive husbands don't like second billing.

Nobody can imitate me. You can always see impersonations of Katharine Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. But not me. Because I've always drawn on myself only.

Sensitive husbands don't like second billing. I don't believe Franchot ever for a moment resented the fact that I was a star. Possibly he resented Hollywood's refusal to let him forget it. There was never a doubt in my mind that his talent was greater than mine.

I'd like to think every director I've worked with has fallen in love with me, I know Dorothy Arzner did.
