In my early days in Hollywood I tried to be economical. I designed my own clothes, much to my mother's distress.

My parents argued more than I remembered, about money and all the little things that disguise the truth that you are still arguing about money.

Rehearsals and screening rooms are often unreliable because they can't provide the chemistry between an audience and what appears on the stage or screen.

Cars, furs, and gems were not my weaknesses.

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

Eccentric behavior is not routinely noticed around a movie set.

I'm not sure I can explain the nature of Jack Kennedy's charm, but he took life just as it came.
