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
It gets tiring being a smartass.
Elaine Stritch
I never found anyone who could look after me as well as I could look after myself.
