HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAY MILLAND! 

(3 January 1907 – 10 March 1986)

My philosophy is do what you can with what you’ve got. I know actors from my generation who cry ‘Why don’t they send me any scripts?’ I tell them, ‘Because you still think of yourself as a leading man. You’re 68, not 38. Face it.’

She was darling and she had this kind of husky, breathy, Southern voice…If there was ever a natural, she was it. She had, from the beginning, that magic, that indescribable quality that is just extremely rare and immediately makes a star of a person. She was a true star. She was a true original. Joshua Logan

Do you know my favorite actress? She was very special in her appearance, her voice was exquisite and far away, almost like an echo. She was an excellent actress, completely unique. This wonderful voice of hers — strange, fey, mysterious — like a voice singing in the snow. Louise Brooks

He [Jimmy Stewart] became something of a recluse for a while…. He lost the spark that had always been there…the spark went out not with the failure of his films but with the death of Margaret Sullavan. Jimmy’s wife, Gloria Stewart

With her dynamism and charisma she was the center of attention and when she entered a room the focus was immediately on her. She carried with her an extraordinary quality of energy and magnetism. Brooke Hayward

She was not an easy woman to categorize or explain. She was unforgettable. Henry Fonda

Rest in Peace Margaret Brooke Sullavan || May 16, 1909 – January 1, 1960
