"I'd always wanted to be an actress, and suddenly I knew that learning to control my facial muscles was one of the best assets I could have as a performer. Emotions often must be portrayed from an inner feeling, of course, but I had a double advantage because I was learning to direct my as-yet expressionless feelings, as well as gaining an ability to express emotion by a very conscious manipulation of my muscles."
(Jane Greer, all'anagrafe Bettejane Greer, attrice che da bambina fu colpita da una parziale paralisi facciale; Washington, 9 settembre 1924 – Los Angeles, 24 agosto 2001)
