Everyone should see Hollywood once, I think, through the eyes of a teenage girl who has just passed a screen test.

As an actress, I was trained to show emotion I did not feel, or no emotion at all.

When my mood was high, I seemed normal, even buoyant. I felt smarter. I had secrets. I could see God in a light bulb

Men are wonderful. I adore them. They always give you the benefit of the doubt.

When I met Jack Kennedy, he was a serious young man with a dream. He was not a womanizer, not as I understood the term.

I simply did not want my face to be my talent.

For years it never occurred to me to question the judgment of those in charge at the studio.
