Happy birthday today to Jeanette MacDonald!
Some quotes about her life:
“I have worked terribly hard, maybe even much harder than I should have. And you only find this out after you can look back over your experiences and see why you should have accepted things more instead of pushing, as I’m sure I did.”
“I guess there isn’t much I haven’t done. But I think I missed having children. That’s the biggest order I never filled. It just wasn’t in the cards, I guess.”
“I never realized how much movie stars man to people. Not what you do or what you say but just your presence, your being there. It makes you feel embarrassed and rather humble and happy all at once. To be able to bring that much pleasure to people makes me a very lucky woman. Very lucky.”
