‘I have broken out of the cage that encloses me, and opened a shutter to the outside world. I feel no chains. I can fly higher and higher because the bars of my cage are open.’

Things In My Head 
Interesting quote, I’ve noticed that female actors and models often pose inside of birdcages. I’m glad that she escaped that trap.

Still in the middle of reading her book! She genuinely loved acting and felt passion for it from an early age. She hated the trappings of Hollywood, and the spoilt behaviour of ‘stars.’ When she was on set, she would be genuinely and overly concerned for the comfort of anyone working behind the scenes. She was scolded by a producer, for not owning a mink coat, at one point. Although she did end up having one. Maybe I’ll do a post about it one day!

She seemed like she wasn’t into being a celebrity or Hollywood and seemed intelligent not just a pretty face. I know she was scandalized for her marriage to the director Rossellini. Scolded for not following the trend. Mink coats, back then every woman had one as a status symbol. My mom had one too.

P.S I think she made the cage comment because she had a controlling husband, whom she eventually divorced.
