- [in a 1963 interview] I thought I was Jeanette MacDonald, my idol. When I looked in the mirror, that's who I was. I did not see me. When I first saw myself on the screen in The Great Victor Herbert (1939), I thought, "Oh my God, I'm not Jeanette MacDonald!" I was so disappointed. I never liked myself on the screen.
