Ray Hagen Quote
Joan [Blondell] had always kept it real, always kept her priorities straight. I wasn’t that ambitious. I enjoyed a home life more than a theatrical career. I just took what they gave me, because I wanted to get home quickly. Joan, said one writer, personified everyone’s good friend, on- and off-camera. Of all the stars I have interviewed, wrote Charles Higham, I have liked Joan Blondell the best. She is unique in my experience in being an actress who is devoid of ego, self-congratulation and self-pity, and would not dream of quoting a favorable review of herself. She is down-to-earth and human and real. This is almost unheard of in Saran-wrapped Hollywood. Her accessibility, straightforwardness and her quick-with-a-comeback attitude was her appeal, and it never diminished as she got older.
