Hollywood (Jan - Mar 1943)

A. I never used to make enough effort to do things for myself, but I'm learning to be firm with myself. I want very much to do The Song of Bernadette, so I approached Director Henry King in the commissary and said, "You must give me a chance. Give me a test." I really "pushed in" and put my case to him. If I don't get it, at least it won't be because I didn't try. Q. Have you tried to get any of your sisters or brothers into pictures? A. No, I don't want them to. Let them wait, there's plenty of time later. I missed my childhood because I started in pictures so early. I never went to school dances or rode in a striped Ford with a crowd my age. I'm lucky in many ways, but you don't get your childhood back. Q. Are you temperamental? A. I never have been and I don't think I ever will be. "Temperament" is just bad manners and it creates enemies. Enemies hurt one in spirit as well as reputation. Q. In what do you sleep? A. In nightgowns of peach or white satin with ruffles on the bottom. I love frills on the edge of skirts. Q. Do you own a particular object to which you are sentimentally attached? A. An ebony and silver cross given me by Jaime Jorba. It's not expensive and I wear it on a chain. It represents a time in my life that I shall never forget. Mother and I were in Mexico City when this happened and I was very much in love with Jaime. Q. In what way are you most extravagant? A. I love furs and have three fur coats — mink, silver fox and white fox. Q. Would you give up your career for marriage if necessary? A. Yes, definitely! Marriage should come first. Husbands can last if you take care of them. Careers can't last forever, especially women's careers. Q. If you could look like someone else, who would it be? A. Madeleine Carroll. Q. What picture would you have liked to have done? A. I wanted to do Smilin' Through but didn't. I've always wanted to be in a Cary Grant picture but missed out. I was told that I was considered for Cary's leading lady in his new picture but that certain people (I hope that didn't include Cary) thought me too young for the role.
