William Lambert (costume designer):
“I’ve never seen an actress of any age so
utterly uninterested in clothes as Shirley!
She'd be fitted with admirable patience
for a child. But did she ever look at herself
in the mirror? No, sir—not one glimpse!
She'd stand in her little pink undies with
her chubby legs straight and let us twist

 
 
 
 
 
 

her, dress her, and stick pins in her. When
we had the dress on, she'd still stand
there, and never once look into the glass."
