"Cuando empecé a actuar, Lionel Barrymore interpretaba a mi abuelo. Luego hizo de mi padre, y finalmente de mi marido. Si hubiera vivido lo suficiente, estoy segura de que yo hubiera interpretado a su madre. Así es cómo funciona Hollywood, los hombres se hacen más jovenes y las mujeres más mayores."
Cita original: "You know, when I first went into the movies Lionel Barrymore played my grandfather. Later he played my father, and finally he played my husband. If he had lived I'm sure I would have played his mother. That's the way it is in Hollywood. The men get younger and the women get older."
