I get crushes on directors because they are so brilliant.

Sirk was every womans dream of a director.

I was the first movie star to plunge into night-time soap opera.

I started out as a very young girl in Hollywood doing westerns portraying a mother with a couple of kids.

I was born in Everett; I went through grade school in Everett, high school in Seattle.

My father was a minister, so I was a P.K., a preacher's kid.

I loved to get all dusty and ride horses and plant potatoes and cotton.
