Fame And Fortune Does Not

I Was Never An Actress -- None Of Us Kids At Metro Were. We Were Just Good To Look At.

Because I Was Promoted As A Sort Of A Siren And Played All Those Sexy Broads, People Made The Mistake Of Thinking I Was Like That Off The Screen. They Couldn't Have Been More Wrong

Don't Think For A Minute That Bad Publicity And Endless Criticism Don't Leave Their Claw Marks On Everyone Concerned. Your Friends Try To Cheer You Up By Saying Lightly, "i Suppose You Get Used To It, And Ignore It." You Try. You Try Damned Hard. But You Never Get Used To It. It Always Wounds And Hurts.

I Was Lazy. I Would Have Been A Hell Of A Lot Better Actress Had I Taken It More Seriously. I Never Had The Proper Respect For Acting. Quite Often, I Learned My Lines On The Way To The Studio.

When You Have To Face Up To The Fact That Marriage To The Man You Love Is Really Over, That's Very Tough, Sheer Agony. In That Kind Of Harrowing Situation, I Always Go Away And Cut Myself Off From The World. Also, I Sober Up Immediately When There Is Genuine Bad News In My Life; I Never Face It With Alcohol In My Brain. I Just Rented A House In Palm Springs And Sat There And Just Suffered For A Couple Of Weeks. I Suffered There Until I Was Strong Enough To Face It.
