One anecdote about Mae Murray says that when the famed actress first saw Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard she exclaimed „None of us floozies were that nuts!“ And as Richard Merkin of The New Yorker notes in his 1994 portray of Mae Murray: „No leading lady was so perfect a charicature of a goddess of the silver screen as Mae Murray. She was a zany stew of platinum curls, petulance, bee-stung lips, and outrageous pretension who maintained that she was born "on my father's boat whilst we were at sea," though records proved that she was born Marie Adrienne Koenig in Portsmouth, Virginia.“
