Luise Rainer quotes:
"The secret of a long life is to never trust a doctor."
"The Oscar is not a curse. The real curse is that once you have an Oscar they think you can do anything."
"Hollywood was a very strange place. To me, it was like a huge hotel with a huge door, one of those rotunda doors. On one side people went in, heads high, and very soon they came out on the other side, heads hanging."
I'm 55 and remember watching a lot of 1930's black and white films as a child. Am sure I would have seen The Great Zeigfield but will never forget going into the city in my 20's to watch The Great Waltz. She was angelic and luminous. It was an utter treat to see it on the big screen and drink in her performance. Fran :)
