Jeanie Macpherson Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Born in Boston to Evangeline Tomlinson and John Sinclair Macpherson. Jeanie Macperson was educated at Madame de Facq's school in Paris, the Kenwood Institute in Chicago and took dancing lessons from Theodore Kosloff. Her stage experience began when she got the lead in a school play and was awarded a gold medal by the Chicago Musical College. She ...
I told him that I wanted a job as an actress and director. Mr. DeMille did not exactly snap me up eagerly. In fact, he said he had enough actresses around there and one director, himself, which was all he could stand. He also told me I should do something that I could do at 90 as well as 19 - my age at the time, believe it or not. He said I should get into writing, as there was going to be a great need for writers who knew screen technique and could do genuine dramatic continuity, instead of the "on the cuff" claptrap we had been shooting.

I was back the next day, however, asking him for "anything" at $25 a week, and I've been with him ever since, with substantial raises, thank God.

All I knew was that I wanted to act. Then someone told me about motion pictures, how drama was filmed. I was fascinated. I like mechanics anyway.

Mr. Griffith wasn't in. His assistant was. I told him my stage experience. He ignored it, scorned it. "We want to know what you can do before a camera," he said.

[on her collaborator, Cecil B. DeMille] It's been a privilege to work with a man of his integrity and acumen. I think he's a genius; I think any man would have to be a genius to have made so many hits and stayed at the top so long.

[in 1937] Twenty-four years is a long time to work for one man. But when the man is Cecil B. DeMille, it doesn't seem so long at that.

[on riding with race-car driver Harry Hartz] I have traveled 145 miles an hour in an airplane but I got nothing of the sense of speed that came from going 110 miles an hour in the racing car. In the air you are too remote from the world to realize how fast you are going, but on the track you seem to be surrounded by things that flit by at an unbelievable rate.
