1:06:10
The way they lined up to see me
in New York.
1:06:12
Don't let it go to your head.
1:06:14
The same folks line up to see
the fat lady and the two headed calf.
1:06:17
They love a good freak show.
1:06:18
You seemed to enjoy it.
1:06:21
You think I'm fat?.
1:06:23
You're a little prky around the middle
if you want to know.
1:06:25
I didn't ask.
1:06:27
You know, Zanuck says he thinks
1:06:29
"The Seven Year Itch"
is gonna make him a bundle.
1:06:32
He says it's my best role ever.
1:06:33
Well, you've had enough practice.
1:06:34
It's the same role you always play --
cheap, dim-witted floozie.
1:06:38
He says I'm really incredibly good
in the picture.
1:06:40
Then why is he sending us this crap?.
1:06:43
Have you looked at these master-pieces?.
1:06:45
"The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing,"
you play a rich old man's mistress.
1:06:50
"The Revolt of Mamie Stovere,"
you play a hooker in Honolulu.
1:06:54
Oh, and here's an art movie,
"How To Be Very, Very Popular,
1:06:58
Starring Marilyn Monroe
as Curly Flagg."
1:07:01
You should be working with Burton,
with Brando with Olivier!
1:07:06
But what if I'm, you know,
not that good of an actress?.
1:07:09
I mean, what if I just don't have
that kind of talent?.
1:07:12
Then you'll just have to develop
that kind of talent.
1:07:15
You'll just have to march
into Zanuck's office
1:07:17
and remind him that he would lose
1:07:19
about a million dollars a year
without you.
1:07:21
You'll just have to tell him
you want to do serious roles
1:07:24
in serious films
with serious directors you select.
1:07:27
And then what?.
1:07:29
Then will you be happy?.
1:07:30
Will that be good enough for you?.
1:07:31
Will anything ever be good enough
for you?.
1:07:34
No, dear.
1:07:36
Movie stars don't choose
their own pictures.
1:07:39
I choose their pictures.
1:07:41
That's how they get to be movie stars.
1:07:43
Understand me?. You are a movie star
because I made you a movie star.
1:07:48
You could send me your sister
1:07:49
from Phily or your aunt Josephine
from Minneapolis...
1:07:51
If I wanted to,
I could do the same thing for them.
1:07:55
No. If I am a star, it's the public
that has made me a star...
