#Quote
1[upon entering the auditorium as a nominee on Oscar night] I just hope they pan the camera on me once. I paid a lot of money for this dress, and I want my mother in Columbus, Ohio to be able to see it.
2Now who can afford (theater)? And people don't want to think... You never used to hear them talk during a performance. Now they talk.
3"I don't like sitcoms, it's instant acting; it has nothing to do with talent. They shoot everything close-up. ... It's very boring. You do television to make money so you can afford to act in the theater." (on her opinion about working on sitcoms)

12Heckart has always considered herself primarily as a stage actress. On the night she won her Oscar, she said to a reporter that the award was "nice, but it's not my life.".
13Heckart played her Oscar-winning role in "Butterflies" in both New York and London prior to doing the film.
14Heckart's real parents Esther and Leo Herbert, divorced when she was two, and she was adopted by her mother's step-father, John Heckart.
15In order to get Heckart to agree to do "Bus Stop," director Joshua Logan read the entire script over the phone to her. It took two and a half hours while her whole family was waiting for dinner. She was in Arizona at the time because her son had recently contracted meningitis.
16She studied drama at HB Studio in Greenwich Village in New York City.

20One week after winning the Oscar, she went in to pick up her unemployment check and the entire office burst into applause.
21The one time in her life she managed to stop smoking, she had dinner with Bette Davis and started again.
22Marlene Dietrich said of her, "If she were acting in Europe, she'd be queen of the boards. The barbarism of Hollywood typecasting deprives the world of her true talents".
23Her trademark, hoarse voice was caused by an early bout of whooping cough.

25Stepsisters: Marilyn Pickering (Michigan City, IN) & Anne Fraggiotti (Centerville, OH).
26Born at 6:02 AM (EST).
