before she finally appears before the spotlight that is thrown upon the stage. "

*QUOTES FROM THE POWDER ROOM*
EDITH HEAD
"Your dresses should be tight enough to show you're a woman
and loose enough to show you're a lady."
LOUISE BROOKS
"Most beautiful dumb girls think they are smart and get away with it, because other people, on the whole, aren't much smarter"
"I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it will be with a knife."
RITA HAYWORTH
"Every man I knew went to bed with Gilda... and woke up with me.
BETTE DAVIS
"I was the Marlon Brando of my generation."
"I've no time for broads who want to rule the world alone. Without men, who'd do up the zipper on the back of your dress?"
MARILYN MONROE
"Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents."
"Sometimes I've been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men frightened by their wives or sweeties... The ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character..."
and I say " I don't understand why girls are a little more generous with each other"
JOAN FONTAINE
The main problem in marriage is that for a man sex is a hunger like eating. If the man is hungry and cant get to a fancy French restaurant, he goes to a hot dog stand. For a woman, what is important is love and romance.
VIVIEN LEIGH
"I'm a Scorpio, and Scorpios eat themselves out and burn themselves up like me"
"Sometimes I dread the truth of the lines I say. But the dread must never show"
NORMA SHEARER
It is impossible to get anything made or accomplished without stepping on some toes; enemies are inevitable when one is a doer.
An adventure may be worn as a muddy spot or it may be worn as a proud insignia. It is the woman wearing it who makes it the one thing or the other.

CAROLE LOMBARD
“I live by a man's code, designed to fit a man's world, yet at the same time
I never forget that a woman's first job is to choose the right shade of lipstick.â€

'Time Tested Beauty Tips'
by Sam Levenson
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his
or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed,
revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands,
one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
but true beauty in a woman
is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion
that she shows, and the beauty of a woman
with passing years only grows!
