#the girl who had everything
“While working on THEGIRLWHOHADEVERYTHING I was thrilled to discover I was pregnant, and it killed me to have to keep it a secret. Though I loved being pregnant, I had to work as long as possible. If the studio learned of my condition I’d go on suspension, and I couldn’t afford to be unsalaried. Louis B. Mayer, the champion of womankind, the man who punched Erich von Stroheim in the face for referring to a screen heroine as a whore, placed sanctions on his female stars for their natural biological functions. I had to keep mum and I also had to keep my nineteen-inch waist in until the shooting finished. I was in my fifth month when the film wrapped up.”
