I never turned down a mother role.

Sinatra asked me out.

I get crushes on directors because they are so brilliant.

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

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

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

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