When I first went on the stage I was 17 and under the legal age for performers.
Asking what I considered an impossible salary when I didn't want to work for someone has boosted my pay again and again.
I never posed as a saint. I would have slept with a man for nothing if I liked him well enough.
I could always open shows, perform through the middle, and close shows.
I am an isolationist.
You are a person of the greatest importance when you are a mother of the family.
