Every small town has its dramatic group, its barber-shop quartet, every home has music in one form or another.

I vowed that whenever my family needed me, I would give up everything to go to them, no matter what. The show must go on was meaningless to me.

As soon as I began to earn what might be called fairly large sums, I bought a car and began to explore the country around New York.

Ice cream was my undoing, and six chocolate milk shakes in a row were nothing to me at one time.

I love animals to the extent that my home is my dog's home! Which means that nothing is too good for my Freckles-chairs, couches, beds. But I do draw the line on chipmunks nibbling at my table linens, bedding, blankets, etc.

I have always examined closely the motives of any group for which I am asked to raise money.

Because of my voice, speaking words which had been carefully chosen, women had used money they had set aside for other purposes to buy war bonds.
