Sarah Hope’s Reviews > I Love Her, That's Why! > Status Update

“[Gracie] is a fine dramatic actress who… has become a world-wide symbol of sweet absurdity… how’d you like that?… I have a high class collaborator.”

“The fact that she is so kind to the rest of the world for its lack of understanding of what is perfectly clear to her [is what] makes people love her… she doesn’t blame them… she… puts up with everybody.”

“She handled it in her own way: mind her own business, ask for nothing but what’s due her - but just because she’s little, don’t push her around.”

“After the show 23 took friends out to dinner to celebrate. There were the two girls Gracie lived with - Rena Arnold and Mary Kelly… Jack Benny was crazy about Mary. (Note to Mary Livingston: This was long before you and Jack met.), Rena’s date, Gracie, and me.”

“Simon and Schuster ordered eighty thousand words in this book and they’re going to get them.” Lol

Jack Benny’s ‘s introduction is adorable. I love the little illustrations that he is using to show a pause in the written work, giving the preface as a monologue. He also loved Gracie. The Burnses and the Bennys were good friends.
