# Quote 1 They say I love money. I do, though it was pretty cold comfort, a pretty poor substitute, for all I'd lost. But, believe me, I wasn't going to pass up that much money for any false pride. Or any hurt I got down there on Poverty Row. I think if I hadn't felt that way, hadn't worked. I would have been done forever. I'd have gone straight to hell, to be frank about it. 2 [About George LZoane Tucker] I fell in love with Tucker, but it did me no good - he was married.
# Fact 1 Formed Betty Compson Productions, a film production company, in 1921. 2 Compson had a reputation for frugality and being a very mercenary negotiator with the studios. 3 Compson was sent a 1912 Rolls-Royce by a South American who had it stored in a New York garage. As she already had a limo, she was initially annoyed but later discovered she could rent it to the movie studios at $100 per day. She ultimately made $20,000 on it before selling it. This situation may have been the inspiration for a similar situation in Sunset Blvd. (1950). 4 In 1918 Mack Sennett reportedly offered Compson $150 a week to leave Al Christie . Compson claims that when Sennett confirmed that the offer was legit, she replied, "In that case the bid's not high enough.". 5 Began her career as a teenage violinist in vaudeville. 6 A few months after she was born her father seemingly deserted the family for the Klondike gold strike. As it turned out, he made $25,000--a small fortune in today's terms--and returned to the family. 7 Was great friends with Zasu Pitts before she became a star. 8 She claimed that director George Loane Tucker taught her almost everything she knew, "the best of literature, music, all the arts, everything". 9 Al Christie rechristened her "Betty".10 Had no children. 11 After she retired from the film industry she and her husband ran a business called Ashtrays Unlimited until her death. 12 Interred at San Fernando Mission Cemetery, Mission Hills, California, USA, Section B, Lot 853, Grave 4.
