Personal Quote:
[in 1930] Even to this day I'm clothes conscious on the set. When I decided to do
The Ten Commandments (1923) I had a net suit made that was skin tight and completely covered me. You couldn't see through it but it didn't pick up in the camera, so cleverly was it made. I always thought Mr. DeMille was a good sport to humor me in that.
