(on Claudette Colbert) The smartest, canniest, smoothest eighteen-carat lady I`ve ever seen cross the Hollywood pike. She knows her own mind, knows what`s right for her, has a marvelous self-discipline and a deep-rooted Gallic desire to be in shape, efficient and under control. Her career comes before anything, save possibly her marriage.
