Kim Hunter's quotes

  • [about her "blacklisting"] For a long while, I wouldn't talk about it at all. I do now, because there's a whole new generation that doesn't remember. And the more one knows, the more one can see, and not allow history to repeat itself.
  • [on being known as an actress rather than a star] That's fairly accurate, I think, for a great number of us. Becoming a star wouldn't have bothered me, but what is a star? A star isn't anything. An actor acts. That's the important thing.
  • [on Marlon Brando] An absolutely gorgeous actor! And a beautiful human being... Also: he dearest, most thoughtful, considerate human being I've ever met. Wild sense of humor; practical joker, no end. An extraordinary human being, no question!
  • [on Vivien Leigh] Vivien was an incredibly charming woman!When she spoke to you - to anybody - you were the only person in the world.
  • [on Bette Davis] I love Bette. What a dame! Absolutely straight on - no nonsense!
  • [In a 1986 interview] As a child, I considered being a concert pianist. At 11, I decided to be a writer. Then a drama teacher moved nearby. I'd always loved the movies, and I asked to take some acting lessons.
