And if real life was like the movies, I should have lived happily ever after.
Believe me, when an actress is told that her very name is synonymous with bad acting, she's had it.
It took a long time, but I have learned that you just can't take anything you want out of life without putting something back in exchange.
Ive always felt robbed of something by people not knowing I was a Jew.
The fact is, I never wanted to be a movie star.
I had highfalutin ideas about being a serious actress when I was 16, 17, and first signed at Universal. I was so flattered to be asked to be in the movies - the idea of being paid to act was heady stuff.
