“I never had a great role in a great film.” — Gloria Stuart

I wanted to be a theater actress, but I thought it would be easier to get to New York and the theater if I had a name than if I just walked the streets as a little girl from California.

I just finished my 11th book last week, so I'm ready to start the next one.

I quit after my seven-year contract with Universal was up. I quit for 33 years.

I wanted to be on the stage, doing very important emotional roles.
