Personal Quote:

My film career faded. A man can go on playing certain roles 'til he's sixty. But not a woman.

[in 1984] The "Golden Age" is gone, and with it most of the people of great taste. It doesn't seem to be any fun any more. See more »

Trivia:

She was a very active member of both the Hollywood Democratic Committee and The Hollywood Anti-Nazi League and donated her time and money to many liberal causes (such as the Civil Rights Movement) and political candidates (including Franklin D. Roosevelt, Henry Wallace, Adlai Stevenson, John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Jimmy Carter) during her lifetime. See more »

Often played untrustworthy but sexy femme fatales
