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.

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 get crushes on directors because they are so brilliant.

All the risky things that were happening back in ’06 and ‘07 are back again to the same level, if not more. So we are in the beginning of a credit bubble, but just the beginning.

It matters if you don't just give up.
