It’s been said that Susan Strasberg is the teenage edition
of Grace Kelly… I’m in favor of Kim Novak…
Trying to entice Mamie Van Doren to make a p.a. tour with a
picture, a producer told her it would be more fun than work. Mamie replied: “I
don’t believe in doing for pleasure things I don’t like to do.”
