Gossip Is Hardly Uplifting.

Gossip Is Hardly Uplifting.

During My Seven-year Contract With Rko, There Were Seven Different Studio Presidents, From David O. Selznick To Charles W. Koerner. You Literally Had To Check The Name On The Door So As Not To Call The New Boss By The Former Boss's Name.

I Don't Know Which I Like Best. I Love The Applause On The Stage. But Pictures Are So Fascinating - You Reach Many Millions Through Them. And You Make More Money Too.

I Had Been Making Films For Almost Ten Years, And The Head Men At Rko Thought Of Me Only In Terms Of Musicals. I Found No Fault With That, Except I Just Couldn't Stand Being Typed Or Pigeonholed As Only A Singing And Dancing Girl. I Wanted To Extend My Range.

I Traveled With My Mother, Lela, And There Was Never Enough Money. I Always Had To Roll Down My Silk Stockings And Carry A Doll When We Bought Train Tickets So I Could Go Half-fare. If We Had $3, We Always Figured How To Tip For The Trunks And Still Eat.
