 Gwen Verdon Quotation"I like the character of Charity because she's so hopeful. She's never bitter, and plenty of things happen to her that could make her bitter. She always thinks tomorrow's going to be beautiful. And someday it will be." "These girls I've played are naive and pure. They are looking for someone to really love. But they aren't very bright, and they haven't been brought up in a family situation that enables them to evaluate. As for the prostitutes, well they're 'loved' every 20 minutes, or what substitutes for love in about 90% of American homes-- I'm pretty cynical about that." "Sex in a dance is in the eyes of the beholder. I never thought my dances sexy. I suppose that's because I see myself with my face washed, and to me I look like a rabbit." Movie Title: Damn Yankees! (1958) as Lola: Mr. Applegate : Have a nice trip? Lola : Perfect. The plane crashed in Cleveland. Mr. Applegate : Good. Now about that job in Chicago. Lola : Just dandy. I got the old boy to embezzle 100,000 dollars and lost it for him at the race track. Then his wife left him and he took to drink. I told him I was through and he jumped out the window... twenty second story. Mr. Applegate : That's high enough, that's fine. Lola : I wanna try the Empire State Building on this next one. Mr. Applegate : I've got too much on my mind. I'm overworked. Lola : Oh, I know, poor dear. Elections coming up. Mr. Applegate : I've got thousands of Washington fans drooling under the illusion that the Senators are going to win the pennant! Lola : Aw Chief, that's awfully good! When they lose there'll be suicides and heart attacks and apoplexy... just like the good old days! Lola : I took the zing out of the King of Siam I took the starch out of the sails of the Prince of Wales It's no great art gettin' the heart of a man on a silver platter A little brains, a little talent with an emphasis on the latter! Lola : Joe, would you like to take Lola some place tonight? Joe Hardy : Gee, I--I sure would like to but, uh, you know what Mr. Van Buren would say. Lola : He'd say you lucky boy. Joe: No, no! He'd say it's late. He likes us to get to bed early. Lola : Any particular place? Lola : Whatever Lola wants Lola gets And little man Little Lola Wants you! Mr. Applegate : You should have seen a real artist at work! You couldn't get him away from his wife, huh? Well I could! Lola : How? Is he crazy about you? Mr. Applegate : Going a little far don't you think? Lola : What's the matter? Didn't ya like it? Mr. Applegate : I like it fine. Puff him up baby, I'll bring him down again. Lola : You'll what? Mr. Applegate : It's already started. Keep your eyes open, homewrecker. You'll find out who's got the pain in the mambo. Mr. Applegate : I see it all now! Ya doped me. But why? Why?! Lola : Because I love him! Movie Title: Broadway: The Golden Age, by the Legends Who Were There (2003) as Gwen Verdon: Gwen Verdon : Now they tell me that it was The Golden Age of Broadway, but when you're that involved with it, you don't know you're in The Golden Age. And after I left the stage, I immediately started playing everybody's mother in movies! Movie Title: Alice (1990) as Alice's Mother: Alice's Mother : When it came to me and your dad, you had stars in your eyes. Movie Title: Marvin's Room (1996) as Ruth: Ruth : How could one sister be so good and the other so bad? Movie Title: Cocoon (1985) as Bess McCarthy: Mary Luckett : Well I for one don't believe any of this alien crap. Alma Finley : You mean you don't believe your husband? Mary Luckett : No, I don't believe him. Alma Finley : Well I believe him and I'm scared. Bess McCarthy : Well I don't believe him and I'm still scared! |
