Shelley Winters Quote
“I took tennis lessons faithfully twice a week for six years. When I got married, I brought my young husband, Vittorio Gassman, to the Beverly Hills Tennis Club and, although he had been on the Italian Olympic basketball team, he had never held a tennis racket in his hand. The first time we played, he beat me 6-0. I broke my racket and threw it away, and that was the last time I ever played tennis.”
on quitting tennis in the early 1950s
