"I have no illusions, now. Hollywood is no place for failures. No girl who isn't ready to fight, and who isn't supplied with the nerve of a good trouper, should come here. She has to fight - has to take it on the chin occasionally - but she has to fight. It's not place for the timid."

(Lilyan Tashman, attrice; New York, 23 ottobre 1896 – New York, 21 marzo 1934)
