I want the public to know that it will be an honor for me to meet them and spend a few special moments with all those who helped me through my filmed career.

Even on a personal note, my dressing table downstairs is crowded with things, like a mini landscape. It's a city with buildings and towers and roads. There's a pool and a little park. When I move something around it becomes a different tableau.

I was born in and worked in a period that could be called enviable.

Its not age as much as the experiences I have had.

Hollywood ... the most sensational merry-go-around ever built.

Marilyn Monro wasn't the brightest person in the world - that didn't make a difference one way or the other - but she was giving and kind. And that's what got her in trouble. She was so giving and kind to all of these people she met that she found herself doing these things that she didn't want to do.

But my longevity is due to my good timing.
