I dated dozens of young men, had fun with all, made commitments to none.

I learned quickly at Columbia that the only eye that mattered was the one on the camera.

I used up every cent I had earned as an actress.

There were days that I worked all the time, without a layoff, or a rest, finishing one picture and reporting for another sometimes on the same day.

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

I have a role now that I think becomes me. I am a grandmother.

Joe Schenck, a top 20th Century-Fox executive, once said to me that he really believed I had a future, and that was because I was the only girl who could survive so many bad pictures.
