Television wasn't prestigious.

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

Everybody said Peyton Place would be a mistake.

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

I never turned down a mother role.

Television wasn't prestigious.

I acted three times with Fred MacMurray, three times with Martin and Lewis, four times with Rock Hudson. Three times with Glenn Ford.
