I'm not someone like Norma Desmond who's harking back to her younger days.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't want to spend the rest of my life playing Norma Desmond over and over again.
Right now I'm just thinking about school and trying to get those grades and keep them up! In case I become a Norma Desmond when I grow up, I can have something to fall back on!
I never wanted to be Marilyn - it just happened. Marilyn's like a veil I wear over Norma Jeane.
I think that she's a great dame. I'm crazy for Lucille.
I'm kind of fixated with old Hollywood, like Marilyn Monroe.
I haven't ever felt I've had to divide my 'actress' life from the rest of my life.
You look at Gone With the Wind, how right Vivian Leigh was for that. Don't know if that would happen today.
I'm not someone who likes to be in the whole Hollywood tabloids.
Norma Bates is insanely crazy, but you can't help but love her.
Many years ago, I had the pleasure of editing a book by Joan Crawford, who, like Norma Desmond, was still a big star; it was just the movies that had gotten smaller.
