--- list of film with a brief note by Brooks regarding the films she did not appear in - "What happened was that William Wellman had offered me a part in Public Enemy that I turned down to go to New York.

How I am listed as having been in Steel Highway or Hollywood Boulevard must be some like mix-up with Wellman and Florey. But I appeared in neither film." - publication of the British Film Institute
