“I got $25 from Reader’s Digest last week for something I never said. I get credit all the time for things I never said. You know that line in You Bet Your Life? The guy says he has seventeen kids and I say: ‘I smoke a cigar, but I take it out of my mouth occasionally’? I never said that.”

John Wayne, a struggling actor, met Josephine when she was 16 years-old. He courted her for seven years. All the while Wayne toiled away in mediocre Poverty Row westerns. His big break came when director John Ford cast him as the Ringo Kid in Stagecoach, 1939.


— Teresa Wright (1918-2005)

The painting was commissioned by Leigh’s husband Laurence Olivier. However Olivier did not allow John to properly finish the portrait after he grew suspicious of John’s affection for Leigh.

Wise words from Katheryn Hepburn. Man do I have a few regrets.
I would think it would be hard to stay married to Elizabeth Taylor and Bridget Bardot
The boy with the two large dolls-they are really dolls!
Soulless works better than stupid, but either way, Katharine Hepburn was onto something.
Teresa Wright was very girl-next-doorish in “Best Years of Their Lives” and in “Shadow of a Doubt.” Both excellent.
Well done, Robert.
John Wayne, Myrna Loy, Olivia and BB — a fantastic lineup today.
(although the photo of the boy with dolls is more than a little creepy!)
Creepy in a cute way:-)
