...and it's Elsa Lanchester's birthday. Be afraid.
On Maureen O'Hara: "She looked as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth - or anywhere else. "But she met her match in Marlene Dietrich (of course!), who said of her: "Poor Elsa Lanchester. She left England because it already had a queen - Victoria. And she wanted to be queen of the Charles Laughton household once he became a star, but he already had the role."
on Patty Duke: "I thought she was a Method Actress. Afterwards somebody informed me that she was merely a manic-depressive."
