Quote from Cult Actress Tuesday Weld

Since last week's quote was from cult actress Joan Crawford, I decided to go with another actress who has maintained a loyal following in spite of relatively few screen appearances in recent years.

Tuesday Weld was born in New York on Aug. 27, 1943. She is perhaps one of the very few actresses who was a romantic lead to Tony Perkins (in the 1968 film "Pretty Poison, which only came out on DVD last year).

Weld was also featured on the cover of Matthew Sweet's 1991 album "Girlfriend," and there is a London jazz band called The Real Tuesday Weld.

Here is the quote which is used at the introduction of Barry Gifford's novel "Wild at Heart:"

"You need a man to go to hell with."
