Personal Quote:

I believe that the actress who wears her profession on her sleeve, as it were, outside of her work, is, as a rule, merely dramatizing herself. When she acts off-stage as well as on, she is wasting her talent. It is like using nectar to quench a casual thirst. See more »

Trivia:

Was the first major female star to join the Screen Actors Guild and later held the rank of 2nd Vice-President. See more »
