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'm not a film star I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.
