“Edmund Goulding took Fanny to the famous Round Table at the Hotel Algonquin where he introduced her to Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley and Clifton Webb as"the greatest lawyer in the world." ...Fanny had a battery of prospective clients before she had a law degree.”

“It is impossible to argue with Fanny, because her gift of talking incessantly in a soft voice is so highly developed that her opponent is conscious not of conflicting sound but only of the fact that he is getting nowhere." 

~ Magaret Case Harriman Miss Fixit - The New Yorker - January 1937

“In London, she used to be invited to tea now and then by the late King George and Queen Mary; concerning those occasions Fanny said:

"I behaved to the King as I would to my own grandfather, with dignity and respect. And I let him do the talking."

“George of Greece became a  good friend of hers in London during the time of his exile...When a London newspaper said that she broiled chops for the exiled King at her Knightsbridge flat...Fanny would say coldly:

"I don’t go to London to broil chops for anybody...The King of Greece knew where the saucepans were; when he came to see me, he broiled his own chops."

“Meanwhile l try to put Fanny Holtzmann out of my mind, so that I can get my work done, She is the kind of hornet that can make the horses run away with the mowing machine”.
