Lana Turner

We started by playing girls who only married at the end of the picture. We didn't play wives. That came later. But the most dreadful thing was when a star had to play a mother. That was the beginning of her professional end.

I've always loved a challenge.

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

It used to be that when an actress reached thirty, she was considered almost washed up.

I would rather lose a good earring than be caught without make-up.

A gentleman is simply a patient wolf.

I'm so gullible. I'm so damn gullible. And I am so sick of me being gullible.

Let's be honest, the physical attracts me first. Then if you get to know the man's mind and soul and heart, that's icing on the cake.

Oh, how I treasure this freedom. I really do It's a glorious, wonderful experience. I am off marriage - for life!

Since my life has been wayward and impulsive, always a search for something that is not there, and then disillusionment, I believe I need all the excuses I can make.

My life has been a series of emergencies.

Humor has been the balm of my life, but it's been reserved for those close to me, not part of the public Lana.
