![]() Wendy Hiller Quotation"I thought Shaw asked all young actresses to do those parts. It never occurred to me that he thought I was something special. He was a real charmer. Once he wrote that I was playing Saint Joan as though I was cataleptic." "The first Oscar I ever saw was on Mr. Shaw's mantelshelf in his home at Ayot St. Lawrence. My first thought on hearing that I had got one was that if the great G.B.S. thought it was respectable then who was I to worry?" Movie Title: Murder on the Orient Express (1974) as Princess Dragomiroff: Mrs. Hubbard : Don't you agree the man must have entered my compartment to gain access to Mr. Ratchett? Princess Dragomiroff : I can think of no other reason, madame. Movie Title: I Know Where I'm Going! (1945) as Joan Webster: Catriona Potts : You'll stay here tonight of course. Joan Webster : Well I don't want to be any trouble. Catriona Potts : Oh it's no trouble at all. Besides I haven't heard any intelligent female nonsense for months. Torquil MacNeil : Have you got any beams in your room? Joan Webster : Yes, why? Torquil MacNeil : Count them before you go to sleep and your wish'll come true. Joan Webster : As easy as that? Torquil MacNeil : Only the first night under the roof. Torquil MacNeil : She wouldn't see a pound note from one pensions day to another. Joan Webster : People around here are very poor I suppose. Torquil MacNeil : Not poor, they just haven't got money. Joan Webster : It's the same thing. Torquil MacNeil : Oh no, it's something quite different. Movie Title: Pygmalion (1938) as Eliza Doolittle: Eliza Doolittle : Walk? Not bloody likely. I'm going to take a taxi. Eliza Doolittle : I washed me face and hands before I came, I did. Movie Title: Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel (1987) as Mrs. Harris: Mrs. Harris : And don't slide down the banisters! Pauline Harris : Mama! Mrs. Harris : Well you did at Nancy Pringle's wedding! Pauline Harris : Mama, that was 25 years ago! Anne Shirley : Babies are never common. Each one is a miracle. Mrs. Harris : Well I had two of them. I didn't see much that was miraculous about either of THEM. |
