#Quote
1[on Maggie Smith] She's better on stage, from a distance. On a screen, close up, she makes you want to dive for cover.
2[on her "open marriage" to Charles Laughton] We both needed other company. I met his young men, and I had a young man around and Charles didn't even argue.
3It annoys me when mothers drag the poor dears to me and demand the children say something to Frankenstein's bride. Can you imagine an actress being overexposed by a picture she made 40 years ago?
4[on playing the title part in Bride of Frankenstein (1935)] The most memorable thing I did in that film, I believe, was my screaming. In almost all my movies since, I've been called upon to scream. I don't know if it's by chance, but I would like to think that I'm not hired for that talent alone".
5There is no such thing as a person that nothing has happened to, and each person's story is as different as his fingerprints.
6My parents were always a bit arty. They were "advanced". They supported pacifism, vegetarianism, socialism, atheism and all that.
7Stardom is all hard work, aspirins and purgatives.
8Facts like that make one feel blue-eyed and normal.
#Fact

3Met future husband Charles Laughton while acting in the play "Mr. Prohack" in 1927.
4Biography in "Actresses of a Certain Character: Forty Familiar Hollywood Faces from the Thirties to the Fifties" by Axel Nissen.
5Biography in: "The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives". Volume Two, 1986-1990, pages 505-506. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1999.
6As an 11-year-old she studied dance under Isadora Duncan and later taught dancing to neighborhood children and schoolmates.
7Sharp-tongued Hollywood commentator, who was denied top billing for Bride of Frankenstein (1935), even though she played the title role.
