Working with Ty Power was exciting. In those days, he was the biggest romantic swashbuckler in the world. Murderously handsome! But what I loved most about Ty Power was his wicked sense of humor.

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

The depth of John Candy's talent did surprise me. He was one of my all-time favorite leading men.

Some time ago, I told Larry King that I planned to live to be 102. I still do.
