"Letters from fans were beginning to arrive- just a trickle at first, but before long, a tide. What a thrill! I had never gotten letters from strangers before, so I tried to answer them all. My mother and I spent whole evenings figuring out what to say. I liked responding, but the day soon came when I could no longer handle the volume myself." -Lana Turner
"Mother's cameo as herself in 'The Youngest Profession' evinced the fan mania that was growing in response to her recent hit films and her news-making activities off screen. It's an odd little movie, all about professional autograph hounds. They show Mother reading and answering fan mail, an aspect of her job she took very seriously. All my life I remember there was a part of her day dedicated to autographing photos and responding to special pieces of fan mail that were brought to her attention." -Cheryl Crane
