"Someday someone will have to sit down with today's youth and give them a man-to-man talk."

"One day my English teacher criticized me, and I was furious. I thought, I wouldn't have to listen to Miss So-and-So if I were an actress."

"Our obituary will say we were in Gone With the Wind and we'll be proud of it."

"One thing I can say about this glorious business that we’ve been privileged to be a part of. Some people’s past rises to haunt them. Our past has risen to bless us, and to bring us to places like this, to dear, warm people such as you. As far as I’m concerned, this business has been a passport to the world, for all of us. No matter where we go, there is some soul lurking who will come up and say, “Aren’t you …? And didn’t you used to be …? And you say yes, and you’ve found a friend. And this can happen anywhere, thanks to the late, late show on television! And to wonderful people with very long memories. We bless you all!"

"I have copies of most of the films I did, people have been sending those to me, but I don’t want to look at yesterday. I’m looking at tomorrow, although I’m very glad that yesterday was there. That philosophy works for me. I have a gift of contentment. I am blessed to have the opportunities that I’ve had. My golden years were platinum years."

"I just wanted to watch the book come to life."

"She was a dear person, a very funny lady, wonderful heart, was always trying to do things for people."

"She loved it. It really stimulated the last years of her life, because she got thousands of emails from fans, She was in great demand."
