Quotable Quotes:

"My agent asked would I like to do a musical. I said, 'Of course I would.' He said, 'Well, I've got the part for you.' So I read it, and I thought she was a stupid girl. She loved society. She just wanted to be social and have a lot of money. And I said, 'That's not very sensitive or tasteful' or whatever. So I told my agent, Baron Polan, that I didn't want to play it, and he grabbed my shoulders and he shook me a little bit on Fifth Avenue and said, 'Do you want to be a star or don't you want to be a star?' And I said, 'I want to be a star.' TG -- about her star-making role in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown"" (IMDB)
