Henry Fonda gave me a spanking during a scene in Spencer's Mountain.

Being an Irishwoman means many things to me. An Irishwoman is strong and feisty. She has guts and stands up for what she believes in. She believes she is the best at whatever she does and proceeds through life with that knowledge. She can face any hazard that life throws her way and stay with it until she wins. She is loyal to her kinsmen and accepting of others. She's not above a sock in the jaw if you have it coming.

After I got to Hollywood, I resented that I didn't get a crack at more dramatic roles because I photographed so beautifully.

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

Speaking as an actress, I wish all actors would be more like Duke Wayne. And speaking as a person, it would be nice if all people could be honest and as genuine as he is. This is a real man.

I don't remember having a crush on a boy when I was a girl. I don't even remember my first kiss.

I was born into the most remarkable and eccentric family I could possibly have hoped for.
