My dear -- didn鈥檛 you know? [...]I write the most widely syndicated column in the United States. Anybody who reads the newspapers -- ! [...] If you don鈥檛 know, my dear, I can鈥檛 quite tell you all. But I think I can say in all modesty that I am one of the most important figures in the industry. You know it was I who gave America Gary Cooper, and Rex, the Wonder Horse, Yes, I鈥檝e done very well for myself. You know I always could write, May, but I never expected to be the Helen Hobart -- ha ha! Oh, I can鈥檛 tell you everything one-two-three -- but moviegoers all over the country take my word as law. Of course I earn a perfectly fabulous salary -- but I鈥檓 hardly allowed to buy anything -- I鈥檓 simply deluged with gifts. At Christmas, my dear -- well, you鈥檇 hardly believe it, but just before we came East they presented me with a home in Beverly Hills! [...] They said I deserved it -- that I simply lived in the studios. I always take an interest in new pictures in production, you know, and suggest things to them -- and they said I ought to have a home I could go to and get away from the studios for a while. Wasn鈥檛 that marvelous?
Hart, Moss and Kaufman, George S. Once in a Lifetime. Samuel French, New York, NY. 1960. pp. 24 - 25.
