Lady Joan

Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or joan:

    Sweet Suffolk Owl, so trimly dight
    With feathers, like a lady bright,
    Thou sing’st alone, sitting by night,
    Te whit! Te whoo! Te whit! To whit!
    Thomas Vautor (fl. c. 1590?)

    Ah, Marilyn, Hollywood’s Joan of Arc, our Ultimate Sacrificial Lamb. Well, let me tell you, she was mean, terribly mean. The meanest woman I have ever known in this town. I am appalled by this Marilyn Monroe cult. Perhaps it’s getting to be an act of courage to say the truth about her. Well, let me be courageous. I have never met anyone as utterly mean as Marilyn Monroe. Nor as utterly fabulous on the screen, and that includes Garbo.
    Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
