Quotes
Steven Holte: They said Van Gogh was crazy because he killed himself. He couldn't sell a painting while he was alive, and now they're worth twenty million dollars. They weren't that bad then and they're not that good now, so who's crazy?

Q
Grace Kelly--Was She Suppose to Star in "Cobweb"?
A
Chicago Tribune, October 23, 1954:LOOKING AT HOLLYWOODby Hedda Hopper. . . . Grace Kelly, who gets every third year off to do a Broadway play [this bright girl had it stipulated in her Metro contract], can now toss out a bale of scripts sent her by producers and playwrights. She's settled on Tennesse Williams' comedy of manners--it's as yet untitled. This will be bad news to a score of hopeful producers. Meanwhile she does "The Cobweb" and "Quentin Durward" for the home studio and can squeeze in one more before she's free for the footlights.___________________________
