I was fine when it came to cheering up others, not so fine with myself.

I followed the same diet for 20 years, eliminating starches, living on salads, lean meat, and small portions.

In later years, during what might be called my gray-outs — when I was conscious but not myself — I craved foods that were almost always fattening.

In show business the saying seems too often true: it isn't enough to succeed; someone else must fail.

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.

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