I thought it was very important that femininity wasn't lost.

I always wore the highest heels possible, because the other women on the show were tall.

I was seventeen and the star of my high school play. I was supposed to kiss my leading man, but I couldn't stand the guy. I really didn't want to kiss him. All during rehearsals, I refused to kiss him. Then my drama teacher told me, "If you don't kiss him on opening night, you'll flunk drama class. So I kissed him, and that was my first kiss.

I was tired of playing the goodie-two-shoes.

I was brought up Catholic, and my family is still very religious.

My father was a middle manager at an oil company, but I never knew anything about his work. Whatever business acumen I have just got gleaned over the years.

My message is - keep moving. If you do, you'll keep arthritis at bay.
