Let’s not be so quick to beatify the stars of yesterday.
On Grace Kelly
“Alfred Hitchcock called her ironically The ice queen because she slept with almost everybody while filming Dial M for murder (including writer Frederick Knott).
Hollywood’s Gossip Queen Hedda Hopper called her a nymphomaniac.”
Gary Cooper: “Looked like she was a cold dish with a man until you got her pants down, then she’d explode”
I believe the point was what they would do or say in public.
