years white dollars
I thought I was making fifty dollars a week [at MGM], but it turned out to be $35 because twelve weeks of the year you were on layoff. It was white slavery, and it lasted for seventeen years.
husband years two
I suffered, I really suffered, with all three of my husbands. And I tried damn hard with all three, starting each marriage certain that it was going to last until the end of my life. Yet none of them lasted more than a year or two.
night years people
I want to remember it all, the good times and the bad times, the late nights, the boozing, the dancing into dawns, and all the great and not-so-great people I met and loved in those years…
hands years glasses
I wish to live to 150 years old, but the day I die, I wish it to be with a cigarette in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other.
retirement honey
For the loot, honey, for the loot.
hands directors tests
After my screen test, the director clapped his hands gleefully and yelled: “She can't talk! She can't act! She's sensational!”
sunrise hollywood actresses
I must have seen more sunrises than any other actress in the history of Hollywood
jesus people long
And the news got worse. It appeared that there was this whole other person Jesus Christ whose birthday a lot of people tended to confuse with mine. I was personally outraged. It was a long time before I forgave the Lord for that.
australia world film
I couldn't imagine a better place [Australia] for making a film on the end of the world.
cheating hate i-hate
I hate cheating. I won’t put up with it. I don’t do it myself.
beautiful
Elizabeth Taylor is not beautiful, she is pretty—I was beautiful.
kids actresses looks
I was never an actress -- none of us kids at Metro were. We were just good to look at.
fun taken sleep
I've certainly never taken the care of myself that I should have. On the contrary. I've done a lot of late nights without enough sleep and all that. But I've had fun. Whatever wrinkles are there, I've enjoyed getting them.
thinking reason wells
I think the main reason my marriages failed is that I always loved too well but never wisely.
