| # | Quote |
|---|
| 1 | [on Errol Flynn] He was one of the wild characters of the world, but he had a strange, quiet side. He camouflaged himself completely. In all the years I knew him, I never really knew what lay underneath and I doubt if many people did. |
| 2 | They nicknamed me "The Oomph Girl", and I loathe that nickname! Just being known by a nickname indicates that you're not thought of as a true actress . . . It's just crap! If you call an actress by her looks or a reaction, then that's all she'll ever be thought of as. |
| 3 | I can whistle through my fingers, bulldog a steer, light a fire with two sticks, shoot a pistol with fair accuracy, set type, and teach school . . . |
| 4 | I used to go to Grauman's Chinese or Pantages and sit there waiting to see my faceless body on the screen. Texas began to look awfully near and awfully good, and "Clara Lou" had a sweet sound to my ears. |
| # | Fact |
|---|
| 1 | Ann Sheridan was a presenter at the 1947 Academy Awards. She presented the Oscar for Best Cinematography, Black-and-White, to Arthur C. Miller for his work on Anna and the King of Siam. |
| 2 | At one point she was set to co-star with Dennis Morgan in Serenade (1956), but the parts eventually went to Joan Fontaine and Mario Lanza. |
| 3 | Was considered for the female lead in Mildred Pierce (1945). |
| 4 | Was considered for the role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939). |
| 5 | Was considered for the role of Ilsa Lund in Casablanca (1942), but Ingrid Bergman was cast instead. |
| 6 | Profiled in "Killer Tomatoes: Fifteen Tough Film Dames" bu Ray Hagen and Laura Wagner (McFarland, 2004). |
| 7 | In Italy, most of her films were dubbed by Dhia Cristiani. She was occasionally dubbed by Lidia Simoneschi, Rosetta Calavetta and Maria Pia Di Meo, most notably in I Was a Male War Bride (1949). |
| 8 | Had a large gap between her front teeth. She always wore a porcelain cap when having her picture taken. |
| 9 | In 1939 a fraternity bet inspired a UCLA student to handcuff himself to Ann during a movie premiere and then swallow the key. A locksmith had to be summoned to the theater to unlock her. |
| 10 | According to an article in The Newark Evening News, Ann kept busy during her 1941 strike from Warner Bros. by rebuilding abandoned cars at a friend's garage. |
| 11 | Warner Bros. was eager to portray Ann as a "Girl about town," so her contract demanded that she hit the nightclubs at least three times a week. |
| 12 | In her will, she asked that her cremated remains be placed in a columbarium at a cemetery in Los Angeles. Her biographer Karen McHale discovered that the actress' instructions had not been followed and arranged to have her final wishes fulfilled. Hollywood Forever Cemetery donated a niche and held a dignified service (presided over by her cousin, the Rev. Sallie Watson) on February 21, 2005 - which would have been her 90th birthday. |
| 13 | Her biography on This Is Your Life (1952) was canceled because she found out in advance what was being planned. |
| 14 | In 1952 was included by the Fashion Academy of New York in the eight best dressed women of America. |
| 15 | She was the original choice for Panama Smith in The Roaring Twenties (1939). The role eventually went to Gladys George. |
| 16 | After making San Quentin (1937), in which they played brother and sister, Sheridan and Humphrey Bogart became friends and began referring to each other as "Sister Annie" and "Brother Bogie". |
| 17 | Her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is located at 7024 Hollywood Blvd. |
| 18 | Due to her being known as "The Oomph Girl" she later became the inspiration for the brand of woman's house-slippers called "Oomphies". |
| 19 | Was Frank Capra 's first choice for the role of Ann Mitchell in Meet John Doe (1941) but she was vetoed by Warner Bros. in a contract dispute. |
| 20 | Was used as a body double (hands, legs, shoulders) while at Paramount. |
| 21 | Was named Max Factor's "Girl of the Year" for 1939. |
| 22 | Appeared under her real name through 1935. |
