Self-belief? My Parents Gave It To Me.

He Was Such A Fabulous Drama Coach. What Better Person To Have Than Alfred Hitchcock? His Work As A Director Was Impeccable. I Learned So Much.

So I Think It Is Common Knowledge That Hitchcock Had Fantasies Or Whatever You Want To Call Them About His Leading Ladies.

As Far As I Know, Vera Miles Had A Terrible Time With Hitchcock, And She Wanted To Get Out Of The Contract. He Didn't Let Her. She Did 'psycho,' And I Believe, If You Look At 'psycho,' There Isn't One Close Up Of Vera, Not One. After That, She Would Never Even Speak About Him To Anyone.

I Had To Be Extremely Strong To Fight Off Mr Hitchcock. He Was So Insistent And Obsessive, But I Was An Extremely Strong Young Woman, And There Was No Way He Was Going To Get The Better Of Me.

Because Of 'the Birds' And 'marnie' I Was, As The Expression Goes, Hot In Hollywood And Producers And Directors Wanted To Hire Me.
