Quote for the Day:
"You think just because you made a little money you can get a new hairdo and some expensive clothes and turn yourself into a lady. But you can't, because you'll never be anything but a common frump whose father lived over a grocery store, and whose mother took in washing."
- Ann Blyth, as Veda Pierce in 'Mildred Pierce', 1945.
