Personal Quote:

If I don't like a story or a part I just don't do it. But when I get something I like I work like the devil. Consequently I am accomplishing far more than I ever did before and I'm not working half as hard. See more »

Trivia:

Olive never took off her lucky pansy ring. It was made out of a stickpin that had belonged to her late father. The ring and a scrapbook from her career were the only possessions Olive had when she died. See more »
