Wallace Beery

Lottie Briscoe

“I was the first legitimate star to go into pictures”

Clara Kimball Young

“Fat? It’s the new kind of skin-food I’m using!”

James Kirkwood

Florence LaBadie

“‘Lab-a-die’ is the correct way, but I don’t mind how it is pronounced. It should have been ‘Smith’”

“I seemed to fill the requirement of the youthful lead, so here I’ve been ever since”

Harry Myers

“My work in pictures has earned me the title ‘dare-devil.’ There is nothing I have been asked to do that I didn’t do”

Miriam Nesbitt

“I’m dreadful at higher mathematics”

Muriel Ostriche

“It’s been a rush from one scene to another and from the studio to the dressing-room and back again. And that’s what I love — lots of rush”

Marguerite Snow

“Appearance is a study, and clothes are as much a part of this study as grease-paint and wig”

Richard Tucker

“Not that I would have objected to becoming president of the bank, some day, but there were several men ahead of me who would have had to die first”

Pearl White

“I can do the most daring things and not get a scratch, but the minute I try something easy I nearly lose my life”
