I can hold a note as long as the Chase National Bank.

There's such a thing as theater discipline. One player doesn't appropriate another's inventions

Cole Porter wrote Anything Goes and four more hits for me

The slapdash way producers used to assemble a show seems a little unbelievable when we talk about them now

I wasn't straining at the bit to become a movie star any more than I had plotted to get out of vaudeville and into Broadway musicals

I've made a wonderful living playing that theatrical character - the professional brassy dame

In my case, things have pretty much been handed to me
