Bessie Love was an American-British actress who achieved prominence playing innocent, young girls and wholesome leading ladies in silent and early sound films. Her acting career spanned nearly seven decades—from silent film to sound film, including theatre, radio, and television—and her performance in The Broadway Melody (1929) earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
"So many people have said it that it must be true."
"I had a rudimentary knowledge of dancing and had learned a bit of tap at dancing school, but it was mostly a case of picking it up as one went along."
"He taught us how to be stars. It was a case of knowing how to behave properly in a way that the public expected. Mr. Griffith really taught me everything."
"The pressure on everybody to produce the first all-sound motion picture was tremendous. All the big studios were engaged in this race. We worked 12 to 18 hours a day with only Sunday mornings off to catch up on sleep. For The Broadway Melody we had these huge stage settings. The bigger the set the more trouble it meant for us "sound wise". It would become a maelstrom of activity where every squeak was enlarged to a bellow."
"I began at the top, and worked my way down to the bottom."
"The bottom seems to drop out of the career of an actor … every five years."
"The best thing in the world that can happen to anyone is to lose everything. I know. Its happened to me on several occasions."
