Quote for the Day:
"Thank you so much for the interest you've taken.
I'm an unfamiliar name to most of the public. My name wouldn't be known to most people today.
Some of my films are still going around, and if they are learning about me for the first time, then that is wonderful."
- Marsha Hunt; interview with MovieMaker, on reaching 100 years of age; 2017.
