“She was amoral. If she saw a stagehand with tight pants and a muscular build, she’d invite him into her dressing room.” -MGM executive/busybody “I find men terribly exciting, and any girl who says she doesn’t is an anemic old maid, a streetwalker, or a saint.” -Lana Turner (via drmacro)

Lana Turner & John Garfield in publicity still for The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946, dir. Tay Garnett)  “What did she have that makes me feel that way about her? I don’t know. She wanted something, and she tried to get it. She tried all the wrong ways, but she tried. I don’t know what made her feel that way about me, because she knew me. She called it on me plenty of times, that I wasn’t any good. I never really wanted anything, but her. But that’s a lot. I guess it’s not often that a woman even has that.” -James M. Cain, The Postman Always Rings Twice
