Famous Zita Johann Quotes

“To me, the theatre was related to the spirit. Before every performance I sat alone in my dressing-room, said my prayers, died unto myself and became my character.”

Zita Johann obituary http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-zita-johann-1509144.html

“I have always been interested in the occult, but during the filming of The Mummy I had to keep such things private, especially in those days. I used the occult auto-suggestively…I mean, before I would play a scene I would get into the spirit, so to speak, with certain prayers. As a child my father gave me an Ouija board and soon I started to get messages, then I moved towards the Tarot. By the time I was in Basil Sidney’s company I was asked to read cards all the time for the other players, and Basil himself depended on what I saw in those cards.”

“The moguls created stars and sold them to the public, the way a grocer sold a 39-cent can of tomatoes to his shoppers.”
