[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 444494, member: 7"] Betty was quite frank about her limitations as an actress. She was also vocal about her personal preference for working in musicals. She found them fun and didn't view them as work or as her job. She was at home in musical comedy, and she was more than happy to stay there. From what I hear, Errol Flynn was the same way. He never viewed himself as an actor, and was quite open about what he should and shouldn't do when came to his film roles. Betty knew Fox was trying to edge her out by the late-40s, and she really saw the writing on the wall in the early-50s. She was literally remaking her own movies, and once Marilyn came on the scene, she knew Fox had found their new golden girl. To her credit, though, Betty got along famously with Marilyn, eventually telling her, "I've had mine honey! Now go and get yours!" on the set of HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE in 1953. I'm glad this movie ended up being Marilyn and Jane Russell. The two of them had great chemistry, and they turned a standard musical comedy into a cinematic classic.
