Quotes

[on making Man in the Saddle (1951)] Randolph Scott was a joy to work with, elegant, such a gentleman, and so devastatingly good looking. A charmer with beautiful eyes. I compare him to Gary Cooper, but Cooper had more versatility. Randy was so at ease on the set.

[on working with James Craig in Northwest Stampede (1948)] He was a pill . . . not easy to work with. He seemed to have a chip on his shoulder and it showed in everything he did. (Perhaps James Craig's attitude was due to personal problems: His son Robert died on April 19, 1948 aged 3, the same year Joan worked with him.)

Gary Cooper gave me a doll on the set [of Sergeant York (1941)]. That's how he saw me.
