Vera-Ellen

I'm not looking for love. If it happens, fine.

The only 'B' I got was in physical education.

I'd really planned to be glamorous.

There is an indefinable quality possessed by some artists. You simply can't explain it.

When I think how hard others with talent try and never achieve success, it makes me unhappy.

I've thought about getting married several times. But Instead of thinking about it twice, I've thought about It 10 times and end up not doing It. The reason Is that I had one uphappy marriage and I know how miserable It can be.

If you're going to go steady, you might as well get married.

When I'm in a picture, I don't have much time to go out. I have to be up at 6:15 in the morning, and that doesn't allow much night life.

Often the studio will have premieres and other functions which I have to attend every week, so that just about takes care of the free time. Also, I am away much of the time on location and tours.

There is no place at the top in Hollywood for a dancer who can't act and sing.

We are very fortunate today to be able to have so many fine and useful cosmetics just for the asking.

The development of under arm deodorants has been a great help to every woman.

If it has been a real warm day, I shower every evening. Then, each morning I also shower.

Daintiness is very closely tied in with cleanliness.

When I wasn't working, I had a chance ta go back to New York and appear in the show 'Sally.' I carried the contract around for three weeks saying, 'Should I?' I finally decided to stay in Hollywood no matter what.

I signed up with Mr. Goldwyn not because he was the only one who offered me a contract. Many studios did. But they all wanted to test me first, and why should that be necessary?

I wanted a producer who had sufficient confidence to sign me without a test.

Once when I danced on television there was no script for me. They told me, 'you know, just dance.' Well, you don't 'just dance.'

New York, with its stage musicals and night club shows, is the place to go. Success there will open the doors of Hollywood.

I would have never seen any thing outside of Norwood, Ohio, if it hadn't been for show business.

I work harder, actually, when I'm not making a movie.

Hollywood has 'The Body' Marie McDonald and 'The Look' Lauren Bacall and 'The Voice' Frank Sinatra. I'm 'The Dash' From my first contract on, I've had it written in that they cannot leave out the hyphen.

Ted Lewis discovered me; so did Billy Rose, Dick Rodgers and Sam Goldwyn.

I'm the girl who is always being discovered.

There's not the choice of eligible males in Hollywood that you have in other places.
