CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

The sweetest-smelling actress
"Popularity is a curious thing. The public responds to a dimple, a smile, a giggle, a hairstyle, an attitude. Acting talent has less to do with it than personality."
"I know all the swear words. I just don`t use them. There are worse things in life than being called a Lady."
[Cary Grant] "said I had perfect timing in comedy and that I was the sweetest-smelling actress he ever worked with."
"I love beautiful things, but a woman who considers herself best dressed usually spends all of her time at it."
Irene Dunne (20th December 1898 - 4th September 1990)
