A biography for Betty Fieldhasn’t been written yet.
“I think it must be awful not to work. My only point in being idle is to rest so that I can work more... I'm only unhappy when I'm not working.”
“I'm not an outstanding personality, and I'm certainly no beauty. Acting ability is all I've got to trade on.”
“I just want to do as many utterly different parts as I can get. Variety teaches you to act, and it keeps you fresh in your approach.”
