"Forty pictures I was in, and all I remember is 'What kind of bra will you be wearing today, honey?' That was always the area of big decision - from the neck to the navel"

- Donna Reed

About this Quote

Donna Reed's quote reviews her experience as a starlet in Hollywood. She was in forty images, yet all she keeps in mind is the question of what type of bra she would be wearing. This suggests that the focus of her functions was frequently on her physical appearance, instead of her acting capability. It likewise indicates that the industry was more concerned with her body than her skill. The expression "from the neck to the navel" suggests that her clothes choices were typically inspected, and that her body was the main focus of her roles. This quote highlights the sexism and objectification of women in Hollywood, and how female actors were typically judged on their physical look instead of their talent.
