It's easy to understand why she was considered the queen of that lot. Glamour is written all over her and besides she is one of the most charming stars I know, but she certainly led me a merry chase.
Once I waited six hours for her, but she was such a kid when she was in a playful mood that you had to forgive her anything.
When we were late for the studio we used to race down Washington Boulevard, go through all the stop signals as Gloria — with her hair flying — waved and yelled at the astonished cops.
One night she asked me to stay all night so I could treat her first thing in the morning. I told her I didn't have a toothbrush.
"Look," she said and took a dozen new ones out of the cabinet in the bathroom. I said I didn't have any pajamas. She opened up a drawer and showed me a hundred night-gowns, each one more beautiful and sheer than the other. So what can you do with a person like that? I stayed.

Twice every day that I was with her I gave her a facial. That was to soothe the nerves as well as take off her double chin, which was beginning to show. Gloria's studio paid me lots of money for those facials, which you can do yourself.
