Chaplin was notoriously strict with his sons and rarely gave them spending money.

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

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

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.

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