Mae Murray Quotes
Mae On Becoming A Star:
"Once you become a star, you're always a star."
Mae On The Stars of her Hollywood Days:
"We were like dragonflies. We seemed to be suspended effortlessly in the air, but in reality our wings were beating very, very fast.”
Mae Murray In Her Final (and declining mental) Days:
Step aside, peasants! Let the Princess Mdivani pass!’ she demanded imperiously of the nurses who came forward to help her into the hospital. ‘Where are the cameras? Where are my flowers? I must be photographed with flowers! Get them before I’m surrounded by cameramen!’ A doctor came forward. ‘If you’re a Hearst reporter, be sure to mention that I’ve just finished my memoirs.’ She wheeled on the nurses. ‘Music! I always make my entrance with music! Have your orchestra play The Merry Widow Waltz. That’s the number I made famous.’ She held out her hand to the doctor. ‘May I introduce myself? I’m Mae Murray, the young Ziegfeld beauty with the bee-stung lips – and Hollywood is calling me.’
