"It was a role no one could live up to, really." - Myrna Loy on being typecast as "The Perfect Wife"
"There always was a broom or a vacuum cleaner in my fist, or I was at the sink, scrubbing away for dear life." - Claudette Colbert on her screen image
"Some perfect wife I am. I've been married four times, divorced four times, have no children, and can't boil an egg." - Myrna Loy on real life vs. reel life
"I married a wonderful doctor, and I was very happy -- period." - Claudette Colbert on being a real life doctor's wife Dancing Lady
"[Joan Crawford] was learning all the new dances, Black Bottom, Charleston, and urging me to go down to the Ambassador and do them with her. Being such a snob about dance, of course, I wouldn’t have any part of it. But that’s what made her a star, later on, in Our Dancing Daughters...Joan and I became friends and stayed friends, which is the most that came out of my first MGM experience." - Myrna Loy
