Monroe also went on to considerable movie success but had an unfortunate end to her career.
Always known as out-spoken, Shelley Winters had these things to say about acting and Hollywood:
"You gotta play mothers. If you don't, you won't get a long career in Hollywood."
"In Hollywood, all the marriages are happy. It's trying to live together afterwards that causes all the problems."
"I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience."
On Anthony Franciosa: "I'll never forget the night I brought my Oscar home and Tony took one look at it and I knew my marriage was over."
On Fredric March: "He was able to do a very emotional scene with tears in his eyes, and pinch my fanny at the same time."
On Joanne Woodward: "Joanne always made it her business to hold back her career while Paul Newman was on the up and up. And that girl is one helluva talented actress. But she knew what side her bread was buttered on and let Paul become the superstar of the family. The result? They're still happily married today."
