Miriam Hopkins on moving to Hollywood

 

  

“I didn’t want to go to Hollywood. I had no desire to go. But I was under contract. And when I signed a two-year contract with Paramount, through Walter Wanger, he said: ‘You won’t have to go because I have the studio, you’ll make any films here (New York), you know.’ But they decided to close the Astoria studio. So with the equipment, the cameras, the electrical light bulbs and so forth, I was shipped to California. I had to go.”

Nita Naldi comments on her film persona

 

 

 

“The fans just assumed that I was in real life as I appeared on the screen. Women loathed me; I was warned not to appear on the public beaches, and everywhere I went people used to look upon me as something unreal — like griffins and unicorns. But time changed that. Women don’t seem to hate me any more.” — Nita Naldi (1897-1961)
