...no, it's the story of my life.
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."

Always the Bride
[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".
"Stardom is all hard work, aspirins and purgatives."
[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."
Just in time for Hallowe'en, it's the birthday of our Patron Saint Elsa Sullivan Lanchester (28th October 1902 – 26th December 1986)!
A remarkable woman.
