| # | Quote |
|---|
| 1 | [on Robert Loggia] . . . he was wonderful. Quiet; very intelligent. He had a lot of pizzazz. |
| 2 | [on John Bromfield, with whom she worked on Curucu, Beast of the Amazon (1956)] He's a terribly handsome man. He didn't care if he acted or not--he wanted to go fishing! Which is probably what he's doing these days. John was just a love; a very handsome, good looking guy. |
| 3 | [on Jock Mahoney] Jocko was a close friend; I knew him when he was still a stuntman. We did Yancy Derringer (1958) together. He was one of my favorite people. |
| 4 | [on Robert Conrad] Thank goodness we didn't have any love scenes together. I am taller than Robert Conrad, but then, who isn't? He's a tiny man. |
| 5 | [on Richard Boone, with whom she worked on Medic (1954)] . . . such a good actor--a special man. Just wonderful. He was not good looking, he had bad skin and was very homely--but a brilliant actor. |
| 6 | [on Wayne Morris, with whom she worked on The Desperado (1954) and Two Guns and a Badge (1954)] He was no longer a star. This was not Warner Bros.! He was nice, but heavy. He had to have a box to get on his horse! I didn't hang around with him so I didn't know about his drinking--but from his being puffy, I certainly suspected it. |
| 7 | [on Neville Brand] We did a lot of stuff together, including a picture in Japan. I stayed home and he went out with the girls; then at three or four in the morning, he would tell me all about them. What a drinker! |
| 8 | [on Robert Culp, with whom she worked in Trackdown (1957)] I am not mad for him! It was awful for me to work with him. He didn't give me anything. Very selfish. I can't work with someone who doesn't give something back. I need feedback for me to do my work. I was out on a limb. If you don't get something, you can't give something back. I don't know about others, but Robert Culp just didn't give me anything! |
| 9 | Maybe I do come on strong, and people sense in me a strength and a positiveness . . . It's really the way I look and act, not the way I am . . . Once you cut through the protective coating, I'm strictly molasses. |
| 10 | [on acting in "B" movies] You don't have to act in these pictures. All you have to do is possess a good pair of lungs. I can scream with more variations from shrill to vibrato than any other girl in pictures. |
| 11 | [referring to her 1950s Roger Corman cult films] It's funny today because it's so ridiculous. But at the time, it was very serious! We were just actors doing our best, I think. None of us overacted. I'm not saying we weren't good. We didn't do it tongue-in-cheek. We really meant it. We gave our all. We were serious, good actors and we played it seriously. |
