"My parents were both progressive people learning much from Henrik Ibsen. My mother believed that a woman should not be tied down to family with nothing else in her life. They were also progressive politically. My father, we thought, voted the Democratic ticket, but actually he voted the Socialist ticket; my mother was a suffragette and I marched in parades with her."
(Gale Sondergaard, vero nome Edith Holm Sondergaard, attrice vincitrice del primo Oscar alla miglior attrice non protagonista nel 1937 e che ebbe la carriera fortemente danneggiata dal maccartismo un decennio dopo; Litchfield, 15 febbraio 1899 – Woodland Hills, 14 agosto 1985)
