Happy Birthday, Virginia Mayo - (November 30th, 1920 - January 17th, 2005)
“You know, I really do want to say that - at least back then - if you were pretty, and especially if you were pretty and blonde, you were automatically labeled stupid. Not very bright. Makes me so angry! I’ve known an awful lot of very smart, very bright, very beautiful blonde women. And folks, I happen to be one of them.”
