"I hear 'stars' talking about 'their pictures,' 'their publics,' 'their this' and 'their that.' Okay - but it's fatal to forget that the author, the dialogue-writer, the director and the cutter are just as important to the finished picture as the star. Whenever a star forgets that and begins to believe his own fan mail, he's on his way out! Why anyone goes 'high-hat' in this business is and always has been a mystery to me." -- Carole Lombard in 1936 (Bizarre Los Angeles)
