One of the few actresses (or actors) of the time who got exponentially wealthier after she retired from acting — and not by marriage, either. None of that’s important, because whoa:
Not to mention her sensational legs:
Oh…and did I mention that she was also a dancer?
Reading her Wiki article it seems she was at least moderately weathly before Hollywood too. That’s probably why she was sensible with her wealth.
I like the idea of Paulette Goddard more than I like the actual movies she made.
I heard a story once that there are several male actors in Hollywood who, when asked what their least favorite filming experience was, they named the movie the made with Paulette Goddard.
Bunch of whiners, then as now.
