“I'm naturally blonde.” — Joanna Page Quote

I'm naturally blonde.

I'm pretty stubborn and I can flare up quite easily.

I worked in BHS, but I was only there for a couple of weeks before I got fired because I needed the Saturday off to go to drama club. I was useless - I was so bored. There was nothing to do, so I'd go and do a circuit of the store, throwing jumpers on the floor, then go and pick them up.

I think the reason that some actresses go to the other side of the camera as they get older is because after 40 it's hard to get the parts. But I have been an ingenue for so long - I was never allowed to go for roles where you are a policewoman and have to shoot a gun because I was this kind of child-woman.

I had kids make fun of me because not only was I blonde but also Polish.

I think I will always be seen as this small blonde 20 year old even in my fifties.

My dream was to become a very small blonde movie star like Ida Lupino and those other women I saw up there on the screen during the Depression.

Coming to new environments, people look at you and think, 'what's this blonde lady doing, she thinks she can drive a racing car.' But you work hard, keep your head down and show that you're actually capable.

I used to routinely turn down things that might compound the impression that I was some kind of vacuous blonde. But now, when I look back, I think I should have done them because I would be very rich - being taken seriously isn't all it's cracked up to be.
