Cleo Moore Quotations

So I end up using about ten tubes of lipstick a day. I've even had to buy a darker kind than I prefer to wear in order to make a better print.

Well, I'm 38 here and 22 around here - and 38 down here.

I mean, Jane Wyman did a lot of silly parts for years and then all of a sudden went serious and was tremendous.

I'm not a very good painter, but I'm learning a lot.

None of the European girls, including Anita Ekberg, has anything not found on American girls as well.

Painting self-portraits without clothes on has also given me some publicity.

Tell me the truth - do you think I've lost my Southern accent? I feel it comes back to me only when I'm shouting at fights or at baseball games.

One newspaper even published one of my nude paintings - the one of me naked from the waste up.

You know, just because you're a blonde type doesn't mean you can't suddenly do serious parts.

I like to take afternoon naps in the nude.

And I usually use myself as a model, posing in front of a mirror as I dab the strokes on the canvas.

But my biggest stunt was that famous five-minute television kiss I engaged in with disk jockey Jack Eigen.

Believe it or not, I was all fully rounded by the time I was nine years old.

Ever since that Jack Eigen kiss incident, people don't ask me for my autograph any more.

Anything I learned about the fine art of acting I learned from Hugo.

They seem to be charmed by my Southern accent.

It was strange what happened to me; I mean popping out like that before I was even ten.

They want a lip print for their autograph books. I'm a sport; I go along.

I made a number of pictures, strictly C-pictures that were done on small budgets with a crackerjack director and actor who's now dead, Hugo Haas.

I notice Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe get as much attention as Gina Lollobrigida and Sophia Loren.
