#Quote
1I don't think I ever understood Hollywood. Whatever they told me to do, I did. I went to the studio in the morning, stayed on the set all day, then went home, and ate my dinner, and studied my part, and went to sleep.
2[To Rex Reed in 1973] I was there for years under contract to MGM, RKO, and Paramount... I don't know how many others. Actually, I do, but who cares? But I don't want others to remember the details, just the image.
3I married Nicholas Ray, the director. People yawned. Later on I married his son, and from the press's reaction you'd have thought I was committing incest or robbing the cradle!
4I don't think I ever understood Hollywood.
5I remember everything, even the dates. But I don't want others to remember the details, just the image.
6There's always a race against time. I don't think for one moment that life gets better. How can it? One's body starts to fall apart.
7You go through life in a series of peaks and valleys.
8It wasn't the way I looked at a man, it was the thought behind it.

2Claimed never to watch her own rushes or her old movies on TV.
3After the critical acclaim she received for "Crossfire," RKO purchased her contract from MGM.
4Grahame was preparing to appear as Amanda in a production of "The Glass Menagerie when she was initially stricken with cancer.
5A painting of Grahame was hanging in the Ellington Room of the Manhattan Plaza, where Grahame maintained an apartment during her last five years according to a January 1990 article about the actress that appeared in "Films in Review.".
6Was the 37th actress to receive an Academy Award; she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) at The 25th Annual Academy Awards (1953) on March 19, 1953.
7She named her daughter (with Cy Howard) Paulette.
8Her 1st husband, actor Stanley Clements died 11 days after Gloria in October 1981.
9Reportedly did not get on with Humphrey Bogart during the filming of In a Lonely Place (1950) as Bogart had campaigned for the part of Laurel Gray to be given to his wife Lauren Bacall, which was instead given to Grahame.
10Campaigned for the Judy Holliday role in Born Yesterday (1950) and Shelley Winters role in A Place in the Sun (1951).
11Profiled in "Killer Tomatoes: Fifteen Tough Film Dames" by Ray Hagen and Laura Wagner (McFarland, 2004).
12A very close friend of Jeff Donnell. They met on the set of Roughshod (1949), and appeared together the next year in In a Lonely Place (1950).
13In Italy, a great deal of her films were dubbed by Rina Morelli, but occasionally she was also dubbed by Renata Marini, most notably in The Bad and the Beautiful (1952); Lidia Simoneschi; Andreina Pagnani, in Fritz Lang's Human Desire (1954) and Wanda Tettoni in Crossfire (1947).
14Buried at Oakwood Memorial Park, 22601 Lassen, Chatsworth, California. Pioneer Section Lot 242, Space 8.
15Unhappy with the tilt of her upper lip, she often stuffed cotton along her gumline to straighten it out. The effect was cosmetically less than flattering and made it difficult for her to speak. A leading man, after kissing her, ended up with a mouth full of cotton.
16Gloria spent her last days in the Liverpool (UK) home of her friend Peter Turner, then was flown back to New York by her children just hours before her death. A 1987 biography was entitled "Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool.".
17Her film output totalled 39 feature films, 4 TV-movies and 2 miniseries.
18Her unusual 1960 marriage to former stepson Anthony Ray made a great Hollywood scandal and led to a bitter child custody battle with former husbands.
19Tone-deaf, she sang without dubbing in only one film, Oklahoma! (1955), where her songs were edited together from recordings made almost literally note by note.
20In real life, she was nearsighted and often wore glasses.
21Gloria's children: by Nicholas Ray : Timothy Ray , born 12 November 1948. By Cy Howard ; Marianna Paulette Howard, born 1 October 1956; By Anthony Ray: Anthony Ray Jr., born 30 April 1963 and James Ray, born 21 September 1965.
