Oh, I like it. The line of hers I remember best is the one she came up with when being interrogated about having been paid a million bucks for Cleopatra (which IIRC was more than any movie star had ever got for one movie), as though it were somehow reprehensible of her. 'Listen,' she said, or words to that effect, 'if they were stupid enough to offer me a million dollars then I was most certainly not going to be stupid enough to turn it down.'
