![]() You kissed with simplicity like any good actress: as one would kiss a cardboard cutout. I have seen you lavish kisses and receive caresses in hundreds of films, but never before did you receive your fortunate partner into your spirit. By what is dearest to you in the world? Forgive the bluntness of my outburst. It was I who discovered you, I was the only one who could perceive your soul, immaculate as it was despite your torn handbag and your sheepish man- ner. Nonetheless I forgave you, and in that dirty and indifferent theater I hailed the birth of a star. And I want to make clear that I accepted you when you were an obscure newcomer, when no one had ever heard of you, when they gave you the part of that streetwalker with crooked stockings and worn-down heels, a part no decent woman could have accepted. Like anyone who has ever been disillusioned, I curse the day that linked my life with your cinematographic destiny. Ti’ue, and I am ashamed to admit that I cannot justify my feelings. If you were to take the trouble, you might say in your defense that the very things I am accusingyou oftodayyou have done ever since your screen debut.
