I’d watch old movies with Judy Garland, Shirley Temple and Bette Davis and long to be part of that glamorous world. A lot of that glamour is gone now. In my own small way, I hope I’m bringing some of it back. But it would be great if I could inspire women to dress up.
Until the mid-seventies, the traditional or classic lesbian was always a spinster and often a tweedy intellectual, with a stark glamour that titillated men and women alike. This is the woman that feminists destroyed when they pressured the media for ‘positive images’ of lesbians.

Sometimes America gets tempted by the glitz and glamour.

I am aware of the risk with all the media attention, all the glitz and glamour around football. And that was the only piece of advice my father gave me about my future – to stay myself. I know where I come from.
I never wanted to be an actress, really. I sort of caught the bug fairly late. So many people are so intrigued with the glamour and celebrity of acting, and a lot of actors start acting when they are 9 or 10 years old – so young. I started when I was about 24.
Every time I am in danger of believing the glamour of my own press, some incident inevitably brings me back to earth.

Earlier, I thought it would be better for an actress to marry a businessman or a person from other profession, as it offers more stability.

I don’t think I’m the one that invented glamour at all.
I think glamour all the time. I wake up in the morning and I’m already thinking glamour.

My parents and my family really tried to maintain as much of a normal environment as possible. When I went home, it wasn’t Keshia Knight Pulliam the actress, the glitz, the glamour. It was Keshia the daughter. Oldest of four children, who washed the dishes and did everything she was supposed to do.
Tennis has so much glamour.
I was taken to my first fashion show – Nina Ricci haute couture – in Paris by the White Russian princess, down on her luck, whom I was boarding with in Paris in 1963. I was captivated by the glamour of the gilded salon, the elegant clothes, and the audience of grand ladies.
‘The Matrix’ is a movie that is all about glamour. I could do a whole talk on ‘The Matrix’ and glamour.

I have this idea that you can use glamour and still have it represent something that matters.
I think it’s a different experience for plus-size women in film and television to get clothes for events. It’s just not as welcoming for us to get cool clothes that are, like, equal in glamour, in style, to what, I am going to say, ‘small size’ co-stars get to wear.
I want to remind people of a different kind of glamour, a different look, and breaking the rules of fashion. I wanna break the rules.

What I like about ‘Lay the Favourite’ is that it shows gambling as a profession, as this real grind-it-out job, with no glamour about it at all.
I think there’s a whole group of kids out there that don’t relate to the glitz and glamour of hanging out in clubs and partying all the time.

When I think about old Hollywood and the glamour of those days, women like Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn were not dressing the way some girls dress today. There was a certain mystery about them, and I feel like that’s gone in our industry.

Glamour has the potential to be very powerful in that way without saying anything.
I love the full-on Hollywood glamour of the 1930s and ’40s.
I was so aware of the stage clothes versus the everyday-life clothes, and the extremeness of the stage clothes that my parents had designed.

What you have to understand is that my thing is not glamour. I love stretch marks and C-section scars and all of that. I’m a grown man. You don’t gotta put on no makeup with me.
I am happy being a man in a dress. Some people get confused and think I’m a trans woman, but I’m strict about the difference. What I do is performance, it’s staged, it’s glamour – it’s not real life. But for trans people, being born in the wrong body – there’s nothing glamorous or easy about that.
I worry about my face not having expression. I’ve never been known for glamour, so it’s probably easier for me than it is for someone who has been known for her incredible beauty and glamour. I always wanted to be Geraldine Page, who was just a fabulous actress with just a nice, normal, expressive face.
