"Acting is a way to overcome your own inhibitions and shyness. The writer creates a strong, confident personality, and that's what you become - unfortunately, only for the moment."

(Shirley Booth, all'anagrafe Thelma Ford, attrice vincitrice di un Oscar nel 1953 per Torna piccola Sheba; New York, 30 agosto 1898 – North Chatham, 16 ottobre 1992)
