I had known Cole Porter in Hollywood and New York, spent many a warm hour at his home, and met the talented and original people who were drawn to him.
The Hollywood structure was monopolistic, run by four or five big studios.
I was fortunate enough to work under directors who were, most of them, brilliant, emotional men.
I was not cut out to be a rebel.
About my career I was serious and earnest, sometimes impatient.
Where there is hope, there is no despair.
