Almost all of "Julie" was shot on location in Carmel, which is a lovely resort town a little south of San Francisco. My co-star was Louis Jourdan, whom I liked very much. An amiable man, very gentle, very much interested in the people around him; we had a good rapport and I found talking to him a joy . . . We would take long walks on the beautiful Carmel beach, chatting by the hour.

The happiest times in my life were the days when I was traveling with Les Brown and his band.

If there is a heaven, I'm sure Rock Hudson is there because he was such a kind person.

Well I do find the beauty in animals. I find beauty everywhere. I find beauty in my garden.

Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty.

if you play the numbers game and become obsessed with it, as so many in Hollywood are, sooner or later you have to face the depressing fact that if you are number one the only place you can go is down.

I think everything in my life has led to my animal welfare work.
