“I’m still Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff from Cincinatti, Ohio. All I ever wanted to do was to get married, have a nice husband, have two or three children, keep house and cook—a nice clean house—and live happily ever after—and I ended up in Hollywood.

I can always tell how old Glorias are.”
—Gloria Swanson
