I didn't feel like I was meant to be a nurse or a secretary.
It's such a shame that you were put in a category of a dumb blonde, but that's what they did in the '50s. You fought the system, but you didn't win.
I'm going to tell you something: it's a job to be glamorous. I mean, if you think it comes easy, it doesn't. Marilyn went through it; all the sex symbols go through it.
I studied really hard. But Hollywood never appreciated my talent.
One thing I disliked about being a lawyer was billing for my time.
I don't care whether a role is 10 minutes long or two hours. And I don't care whether my name is up there on top, either. Matter of fact, I'd rather have someone else get top billing; then if the picture bombs, he gets the blame, not me.
I understand quarterly billing, how the record companies run.
My mother was top billing in our house.
In nighttime series, the actor gets billing up front on every episode.
