Young Jimmy Dean fell off the world as suddenly as he had come.

One of the cruelest judgments sustained against me is that I have spoken out as a recovered alcoholic to stimulate my acting career.

I have reached a state in life where I can buy a whole house full of chairs and can bump into them until they are black and blue

My name is real, which probably explains why I never became a superstar... how would that look in lights?

I'm glad I am a woman who once danced naked in the Mediterranean Sea at midnight.

My anger made me drink as an escape from reality, a way of forgetting. But you don't know when the medicinal effect ends and the poisoning begins ... This is my sixth year of sobriety. Overcoming alcoholism has been my greatest challenge and my greatest reward.

I cannot sustain hate for longer than a couple of years.
