Saw Helen Hayes perform on Broadway when she was 10, and after the play she declared to her family that she wanted to be an actress
Quote: "I'm an actress, not a personality․ It's more successful to be a personality․ But can you use it in every role? I don't spill over into everything I do․ I do what I do from inside someone else's skin․"
Considered her best performance to be in "The Razor's Edge," in which she recalled the emotions she associated with her young brother's death to portray a woman who has just lost her husband and child
Quickly procured significant roles in Hollywood without paying her dues as an extra like many starlets
