My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American.

Some critics saw fit to say that I was a great actress. I thought that was a foolish, wicket thing to say because it put such an onus and such a responsibility onto me, which I simply wasn't able to carry.
Vivien Leigh
