“I used to get mad when I first went into pictures. Lots of my friends said I was probably the luckiest girl in Hollywood, since I was bound to succeed through being the daughter of Cecil B. DeMille. Now I merely laugh it off. I think I’ve made it pretty plain by now that I intend to get ahead only by myself.” — Katherine DeMille

“I became an actress because I could not help myself. At school, I had to take part in every class play, because I was the daughter of Cecil B. DeMille. I decided I would have to go through life doing the same thing – so why not get paid money for it?” — Katherine DeMille
