“Much more frequent in Hollywood than the emergence of Cinderella is her sudden vanishing. At our party, even in those glowing days, the clock was always striking twelve for someone at the height of greatness; and there was never a prince to fetch her back to the happy scene.”
Ben Hecht
“In Hollywood, an equitable divorce settlement means each party getting fifty percent of publicity.”
Lauren Bacall
“Every one who is any one in Hollywood is a shark, whether they know it or not. They may not look like a shark, smell like a shark, or even act like a shark, but you can be sure, if they made it in Hollywood, somewhere, there’s some shark in them.”
Bruce Edwin
“[It's no wonder then that Reynolds skipped Thursday's Hollywood premiere after-party for The Dukes of Hazzard , opening Friday.] I'd rather be shot in the leg, ... Ninety percent of the people there have nothing to do with the picture.”
Burt Reynolds
“I want to be known as a football player, not some Hollywood guy or not some party guy, which I'm completely not. I rarely set foot in Hollywood.”
Matt Leinart
“Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.”
Marilyn Monroe
