Quotes

Yvette Vickers

  • I always knew I wanted to try for a career in pictures, so I studied drama and worked in little theaters. But I was impatient for a talent scout to discover me. When I was 16 I bleached my hair as a bid for attention. I didn't know how to go about this and made many mistakes. Instead of taking weeks, I applied peroxide and ammonia three times in seven days and my hair got just like straw. My scalp had sore places all over. Even the color was horrid--an artificial orange that was unbecoming. It is interesting to me how much hair influences your personality. Men expect a blonde to be more frivolous and less intelligent.
  • [after marrying Tom Howland in Las Vegas] Tom is a Chicago actor now in Hollywood. We met about six weeks ago and fell very much in love, so we just went and got married. We hope to do a play together.
  • [about ex-husband Leonard Burns] Leonard ended all our arguments with the statement, "You are not worthy of me". I began to think that I was some kind of an inferior being.
  • [how to be popular] Don't make yourself an open book, Because an air of mystery is always intriguing.
