1 | I was the economical Claire Trevor. I just didn't want to be typed. It goes to show you how you can eat your words. I became probably the most typed actress in the world. But, at least it had some dignity. I'm proud and grateful I was Blondie. She was dumb and shrewish sometimes. But she was real and sympathetic and warm, a real woman, a human being. And that's how I tried to play her. |
2 | "They threw parts at me that Claire Trevor didn't want" - on how she broke into the movies. |
3 | "God bless Chic Young." - on playing Blondie in the series of films based on Young's comic-strip character. |
4 | Women are really leaders. A lot of them don't even know they are leaders. But they are. |
