My Only Friends Were Boys, And I

I Really Wanted To Work And Become Independent.

I Went To Dance Classes From 9 In The Morning Until 1, Then To School From 3 To 10 At Night, Always Under The Threat That If I Failed A Single Course I Could Forget About Dancing.

For Most Of My Career, I've Played Roles That Were Written For Other Actresses.

I Chose The Most Explosive Dress I Could Find. I Put A Ton Of Makeup On And Some Great Round Earrings. I Looked Like Jennifer Jones In Duel In The Sun.

Compared To Dancing, Films Seemed To Me To Be The Work Of Lay Bums. There Was No Physical Pain; It Was Enough To Say And Imagine What Was In The Script. It Was Very Easy For Me.
