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

I suppose life is a little like that, isn't it, a message in a bottle pitched out to sea, to be carried by the winds and the tides, washing up on the beaches we could never imagine.

I knew I could not cope with the future unless I was able to rediscover the past.

I was plunged into what was known as the debutante social whirl. This was one of the ways fathers justified their own hard work and sacrifices.

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

I had no romantic interest in Gable. I considered him an older man.

there are many ways to fail. Some reject success. And others do not recognize it when success comes.
