I think, Larry, one of the things is I'm a very active person.

It is unseemly to undress on stage. I won't do that.

I never think about age. I believe your age is totally how you feel. I've seen women of thirty-five who are old and people of seventy-five who are young. As long as I look after myself physically, mentally and emotionally, I'll stay young.

I never thought I was particularly good looking. But when I see old photographs, I realise that I was. I do wish I had known that at the time because beauty is power. I didn't realise how lucky I was to be young, beautiful and in Hollywood. It didn't hit me. Every day I woke up, went to the film studio and just got on with it.

From the age of 17 I was a pin-up girl. I did it for 30 years and, quite frankly, it gets a bit boring.

I blame my grandmother for encouraging me to become an actress.

I consider you as old as you look and feel. And in that case I feel - I feel I'm about 39, like Jack Benny.
