I never really got over my love for the live theatre. I started on Broadway and found a camaraderie, professionalism and generosity there that was rarely found in film.
I must first point out that I wasn't a star and never wanted to be. I was quite content to be a featured player, not because I wasn't ambitious, but because featured players were never subjected to any of that great pressure under which pictures were always made.
"I always tried to find different kinds of roles and, luckily, played them all: big sister, con girl, society matron, hooker, wisecracker, bubble dancer, nuthouse inmate, and even a song-and-dance girl with Errol Flynn, if you can believe it.
