I think any classical training in the theatre is of enormous value.

I think Edith Evans is the most marvelous actress in the world and she can look beautiful. People who aren't beautiful can look beautiful. She can look as beautiful as Diana Cooper, who was the most beautiful woman in the world.

I was sent successively to schools in France, Italy and Bavaria, and this erratic education was a great help afterwards.

One is just an interpreter of what the playwright thinks, and therefore the greater the playwright, the more satisfying it is to act in the plays.
Vivien Leigh
Image
I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things.

Streetcar is a most wonderful, wonderful play.
