By the time I got home at night, my eyes were so chlorinated I saw rings around every light.

I was the only swimmer in movies. Tarzan was long gone, and he couldn't have done them anyway; he could never have gotten into my bathing suit

We can't all win Olympic medals. Even I never won one.

I was 15, and the years of hard swimming had packed muscle on my frame and made me very strong. Not as strong as a football player, but strong enough to inflict heavy damage.

Marriage to Fernando offered shelter and security, but the shackle was the price I'd pay.

I think it's so funny when people think they can't control a movie star. They can. We're just women, you know

I remember when I first walked into Mayer's cavernous office. You had to walk 50 yards to get to him, and in that time he could really study everything about you.
