![“How Judy and I got to know and love each other so much, I’ll never know. Because after [Girl Crazy], they immediately tried to pit us against each other for film roles. When I got to Metro, they would say to me, ‘Well, if you don’t behave yourself, you know we’ve got Judy. We’ll put her in the picture; she can do anything.’ And they’d say to Judy, ‘You know, if you don’t behave yourself, we’ve got this new kid on the block who can just step right into your shoes.’ Which was all silly, really. Arthur Freed knew if there was no Judy, there would be no picture. If they could have put Judy in every single picture they made, they would have! Because - I promise you - she had more talent in one little finger than all of us put together. When I think of a star, Judy immediately comes to my mind. Although she’s never left it. She could tell a story that would last an hour and you’d never get bored… you just loved to watch her face when she talked. And she would do these imitations of people that were just right on. And sometimes she wasn’t very kind - which was even funnier!” — June Allyson.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m08od3DtKw1r53z3lo1_r1_500.gif)

Happy Birthday, Makenzie!

What I loved most about Elizabeth was her bawdy humor. She was down to earth. And her capacity for friendship was extraordinary. It was a comfort that I could call her to talk about whatever. And I could always go over for a hell of a meal. Oh, to watch her eat! This woman loved soul food. And she’d top off any meal with a sundae. She’d pile stuff on a sundae that I didn’t even know existed! -Shirley MacLaine, longtime friend of Elizabeth Taylor, People magazine, December 26th, 2011.

“Becoming a movie star is something like getting on a streetcar. Actors and actresses are paced in like sardines. When I arrived in Hollywood, Carole Lombard, Gary Cooper, Marlene Dietrich, Warner Baxter, Greta Garbo, Fred Astaire and others were crammed onto the car. A few stood, holding tightly to leather straps to avoid being pushed aside. Others were firmly seated in the center of the car. They were the big stars. At the front, new actors and actresses pushed and shoved to get aboard. Some made it and slowly moved toward the center.
When new “star” came aboard, an old one had to be edged out the rear exit. The crowd was so big you were pushed right off. There was room for only so many and no more. […]
It took me quite a while to reach the center. When I did make it, I remained standing. I held on to that leather strap for dear life. Then Warner Baxter fell out the back, and I got to sit down.
When Gregory Peck got on, it was Ronald Colman who fell off. The only man who refused to budge was Cooper. Gary was firmly seated in the center of the car. He just leaned back, stuck those long legs of his out in the aisle, and tripped everyone who came along.
When Joan Fontaine got on, she stood right in front of me and held on to one of those leather straps. I naturally got to my feet, giving her my seat, Joan sat down and got an Academy Award!”Cary Grant
