acting movies star took top women
I took my acting very seriously. I did over 40 films, and naturally, some of them were called B-movies because the woman was at the top of the billing. Women couldn't star in their own movies.

My best asset is my brain. Without my brain, I don't think the rest of me would be too hot.

I have never been a Marilyn Monroe wannabe. I have always been happy in my own skin!
I never wanted to be a trophy wife. I wanted to make it on my own. I didn't want to depend on a man.
I didn't feel like I was meant to be a nurse or a secretary.

I came to Hollywood determined to follow in Jean Harlow's footsteps, but I was determined not to die young. My hope was to endure. And endure I have.
