| Cary Grant with Rosalind Russell |
“I dealt with what I had
to deal with, and I relished the work. (Obviously, since I made my way to some
studio or other for 40 years, more or less),” Rosalind Russell said of her
career as an actress in her autobiography, Life
Is a Banquet.
“Every day at 5 a.m., I’d
throw on a shirt and pants and an old topcoat, stumble out of doors, take a
look at the garden, get into my car, and still half asleep, drive to the
studio. We started shooting at 9 a.m., but first came hair, makeup and wardrobe
fittings. I didn’t mind that. I love the early mornings.
“Somebody once quoted me
as having said, ‘God gave us from five to seven so we could get up and beat the
traffic.’ I think that’s funny, but the real reason I’ve always loved the
morning hours is, it’s the only time you can ever have alone, time that belongs
to you, and not to the world or your home or your husband or your boss.”
I couldn’t agree with her
more.
