Gossip Is Hardly Uplifting.

I Had Been Making Films For Almost Ten Years, And The Head Men At Rko Thought Of Me Only In Terms Of Musicals. I Found No Fault With That, Except I Just Couldn't Stand Being Typed Or Pigeonholed As Only A Singing And Dancing Girl. I Wanted To Extend My Range.

Like Most Actors, I've Always Been Grateful For Chinese Restaurants; They Were Often The Only Places That Stayed Open Late Enough For Performers To Get Hot Food After The Show.

'flying Down To Rio' Established Rko As A Leader In Musical Film Production Throughout The 1930s. The Film Helped To Rescue The Studio From Its Financial Straits And It Gave A Real Boost To My Movie Career.

When You're Happy, You Don't Count The Years.

I Believe In Living Each Day As It Comes, To The Best Of My Ability. When It's Done, I Put It Away, Remembering That There Will Be A Tomorrow To Take It's Place. If I Have Any Philosophy, That's It. To Me It's Not A Fatalistic Attitude.
