I was a bridesmaid at a wedding in one picture.

I started out as a very young girl in Hollywood doing westerns portraying a mother with a couple of kids.

We had cocktail parties and I'd stay up until 5 in the morning.

I loved to get all dusty and ride horses and plant potatoes and cotton.

I was the first movie star to plunge into night-time soap opera.

My father was a minister, so I was a P.K., a preacher's kid.

I acted three times with Fred MacMurray, three times with Martin and Lewis, four times with Rock Hudson. Three times with Glenn Ford.

I was born in Everett; I went through grade school in Everett, high school in Seattle.

I get crushes on directors because they are so brilliant.

I think there are a lot of actors who act because they have an impulse to do it and they can't ignore it.

A date is an experience you have with another person that makes you appreciate being alone

Kids and cameras are a big things with me. Find a kid who digs cameras and share one simple photo tip with her.

When I was younger I wanted to be a big movie star who'd get to be funny on talk shows and then I wanted to retire and write science fiction.
