“Although I had appeard in a number of pictures made in France, I really experienced my greatest thrill when I came into American pictures. My first role in an American film was with Gloria Swanson in ‘Madame Sans-Gene.’ Although I am now in the movies, it was a real thrill to me at first to see walking around in real life the actors and actresses who are so popular on the screen in France – Jack Holt, Wallace Beery, the gorgeous Pola Negri, Ernest Torrence, Bebe Daniels, and scores of others. And there are such facilities over here, too. In making French pictures, I had always done my own coiffure. But here, there are expert hairdressers!” — Arlette Marchal
