Memorable Quotations:

• "The Bible was not written by men of science; it was written by men of faith.  It was their explanation of the miracle of creation which is just as great a miracle whether it took six days or many centuries.  I think science does not contradict the Bible.  It has only made us more aware how great the miracle was." --as Anna Leonowens in ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM (1946).
• "I wouldn't get mixed up with popcorn, Clarence.  It's too indigestible." --as Vinnie Day in LIFE WITH FATHER (1947).
• "Is good." --as Mama Hansen in I REMEMBER MAMA (1948).
• "All things you must learn, even if you have the gift." --as Mama Hansen in I REMEMBER MAMA (1948).
