Elaine Stritch
I certainly was not the romantic lead. I couldn't be that, because I was not that good looking. And that is something about Hollywood that I do not like at all. Why can't a woman who is just normally good looking fall in love? I mean, everybody in the movies is so good looking.
Elaine Stritch
For me, going to London is like coming home. In fact, I've often entertained the idea of ending my days there.
Elaine Stritch
You cannot tell an audience a lie. They know it before you do before it's out of your mouth, they know it's a lie.
Elaine Stritch
There will always be ladies who lunch. Always. And apparently they live a long time.
