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

I was fortunate enough to work under directors who were, most of them, brilliant, emotional men.

About my career I was serious and earnest, sometimes impatient.

I had been introduced to psychotherapy, in which the doctors let you talk, talk, talk, until you find the source of your problem or find another doctor.

I had been offered a Hollywood contract before my 18th birthday. It gave me the spark I needed.

I never understood the theory, once popular among doctors, that blamed mental disorders on too little or too much mother love. My own mother was my darling.
