„I remember one night at the fights in Hollywood
when Peggy came in with Charlie Chaplin, all done up in a
chinchilla cloak – Peggy, not Charlie. As far as the
women in the audience were concerned not a blow was struck
in the ring that night. They were all squirming to look
at the famous Peggy and see how, why, and wherefore she
managed to put the spell upon the male portion
of the universe.“ (...)
