Hedy Lamarr:

One director never spoke to me, not even hello in the morning. Mr. Mayer never spoke to me. One day I said, 'Mr. Mayer, why don't you ever say hello to me?' He said, 'Why should I? You're not my wife.' It was only because I wouldn't sleep with him. I didn't know anything filthy went on.
