I'm extremely happy in my life. I consider myself to be very blessed.

I was voted the most beautiful girl in the world in 1958, and courted by every young, available man in Los Angeles, most of whom I didn't go out with, by the way.

I'm a bit shy, I suppose, and a bit lazy.

Doing 20 minutes of stretching, light weights and floor exercises three times a week takes the same amount of time as a long coffee break - and eating a tuna fish salad, sardines on toast or scrambled eggs is surely preferable to a Big Mac or KFC.

Only fine cigars are worth smoking and only men who smoke fine cigars are worth kissing.

My father is Jewish, and I look exactly like him My mother is British, but she's of French extraction.

I've made no secret of the fact that I often wear wigs and have in fact launched my own Dynasty range, named after various characters. I find this saves a ton of time - as well as my own hair.
