Personal Quote:

[on Gabriel Pascal]: He came to grief when he tried to direct. He had enormous charm and he tried to be clever, but, unlike Korda, he wasn't a bit clever. He didn't make any money for himself; he was just an old bumbler-on with great charm. See more »

Trivia:

She was personally chosen by George Bernard Shaw to play the lead roles in 1930s productions of his plays Saint Joan and Pygmalion. She was reputedly his favorite actress of the time. See more »
