My cousin told me there’s nothing that beats a smile. Because I used to be real self-conscious. Somebody was laughing and was looking at me and right away I thought they were making fun of me, and she says you can make them feel bad if you smile. So, that’s why I always try to be that way. - Ella Fitzgerald, pictured with and receiving an autograph from Jean Cocteau

Burt Lancaster, on working with Montgomery Clift on From Here to Eternity: “The only time I was ever really afraid as an actor was that first scene with Clift. It was my scene, understand: I was the sergeant, I gave the orders, he was just a private under me. Well, when we started, I couldn’t stop my knees from shaking. I thought they might have to stop because my trembling would show. I was afraid he was going to blow me right off the screen.”
