Daily Dose

From Gloria Swanson: The Ultimate Star, by Stephen Michael Shearer

AN INDICATION

"As an indication of how times had changed since Gloria's stardom, while in town she met child actress Margaret O'Brien, juvenile star of MGM's Journey for Margaret (1943) and Meey Me in St. Louis (1945).  'You know, I used to be quite a movie star myself,' Gloria hautily told the youngster when they were introduced.  'Did you?' replied O'Brien wide-eyed.  'What happened?'  Gloria never particularly liked children."

From Chapter 23, Sunset Boulevard
