More From Ethel Waters
- "Mom never quit on me. My only regret is that she didn’t live long enough to share some of the money and comforts my work in show business has brought me."
- "I had always loved John Ford’s pictures. And I came to love him, too, but I was frightened to death working for him. He used the shock treatment while directing me."
- "We never had a bathtub. Mom would bathe me in the wooden or tin washtub in the kitchen, or in a big lard can."
