"People always think of me as playing these terrible, terrible women, but I've really played very few of them - Medea, Gertrude, Lady Macbeth . . . yes, Mrs. Danvers in the movies . . . but no one remembers the pleasant people I've played - Mary, the mother of Jesus, and so many others. I haven't always been an ogre."

(Judith Anderson, nata Frances Margaret Anderson-Anderson, attrice; Adelaide, 10 febbraio 1897 – Santa Barbara, 3 gennaio 1992)
