I enjoyed working at RKO more than at MGM. At RKO the parts were better! Laraine Day

I was born in 1942, so I was mainly aware of Howard Hughes' name on RKO Radio Pictures. Martin Scorsese

I had been making films for almost ten years, and the head men at RKO thought of me only in terms of musicals. I found no fault with that, except I just couldn't stand being typed or pigeonholed as only a singing and dancing girl. I wanted to extend my range. Ginger Rogers

While I was making my solo films, RKO was busily trying to get me and Fred Astaire back together. The studio wanted to capitalize on the success of 'Flying Down to Rio' and realized that the pairing of Rogers and Astaire had moneymaking potential. Ginger Rogers

'Flying Down to Rio' established RKO as a leader in musical film production throughout the 1930s. The film helped to rescue the studio from its financial straits and it gave a real boost to my movie career. Ginger Rogers

The only thing I did at RKO of any note was lose my Texas accent. Dorothy Malone
