On Rosalind Russell being awful in Gypsy: “I don’t think anything Rosalind Russell ever did could be awful! I adored her! I thought she was totally brilliant, totally brilliant, and very underused and underrated. She did get some kind of humanitarian award at the end, but she was a genius! When you watch her in `Auntie Mame’ or in `His Girl Friday,’ you just can’t conceive that she wasn’t queen of the world!”(1993, Washington Post)
