I entered the cosmetics industry because I wanted more women to use cosmetics made with safe, healthful ingredients.

Sunset Boulevard opened in August 1950, and it was pronounced the best movie ever made about Hollywood.

I had starred in more than 30 successful films, six in a row directed by Cecil B. De Mille.

I've given my memoirs far more thought than any of my marriages. You can't divorce a book.

After 16 years in pictures I could not be intimidated easily, because I knew where all the skeletons were buried.
