Evelyn Keyes

“I got to star in my own movies. I even had my name above the title in some cases. But what am I known for? My bit part.”

“I have often wondered what my life would have been like if I had needed a size thirty-eight bra instead of a modest thirty-four.”

“I'm the first to admit that I never achieved my potential as an actress.”

“I was always looking for the same man - a strong father figure.”

“I was always interested in the man of the moment - and there were so many such moments.”

“To become a big movie star like Joan Crawford, you need to wear blinders and pay single-minded attention to your career. Nobody paid attention to me, including me.”

“I was the original Cinderella girl, looking for the happy ending in the fairy story. But my fantasy prince never came.”
