Personal Quote:

[1935] If I found a man I loved very much I would marry him. My career could take its chances. Marriage would come first. And as far as husbands go, give me a British one rather than an American, although I don't think nationality will matter much when I'm really in love. See more »

Trivia:

Passed away on November 23, 1979, three months away from what would have been her 69th birthday on February 19, 1980. See more »
