I saw myself as Joan of Arc.

As the 1960s began, a new breed of Hollywood leading lady was emerging. She was elegant, international, and wonderfully comedic.

My whole life was foretold to me. An old Romany gypsy read my fortune.

Comedy is quite difficult, you have to be able to have fun and portray that sense of fun to the audience watching you.

John Candy knew he was going to die. He told me on his 40th birthday. He said, well, Maureen, I'm on borrowed time.

Every star has that certain something that stands out and compels us to notice them.

To be part of the creation, I must act humbly. I'll take that over a goddess any day!
