It is my intention to make no provision herein for my son Christopher or my daughter Christina for reasons which are well known to them.

There was a saying around MGM: "Norma Shearer got the productions, Greta Garbo supplied the art, and Joan Crawford made the money to pay for both".

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.

When television killed comedy and love stories, the movie makers went in slugging. They offered the downbeat, the degenerate as competition. This seems to me to be a sad campaign for Hollywood to use to combat box office disaster.

I have always known what I wanted, and that was beauty... in every form.

I remember most clearly when a teenage Christopher spat in my face. He said, "I hate you". It's pretty hard to overlook that. I couldn't.

Send me flowers while I'm alive. They won't do me a damn bit of good after I'm dead.
