Occupation: Actress Birth: December 11, 1919 Death: December 10, 2000
About that time, stronger features became fashionable on the screen..
I had to do a tango with Raft and I learned to dance in ballet shoes with my knees bent..
I'd say my happiest moment as an actress came when I learned I'd won the Look Magazine Best Supporting Actress Award for 1956 in The Killing..
But painting can be too lonely... I like being with people too much to have ever made that my life's work..
For many years my inherited arthritis had given me problems..
I got to know Sterling Hayden fairly well. He was a quiet man, who got more complicated as the years went on..
So, I certainly subscribe to what Bette said about acting being very hard work..
Of course, in later years, I'd studied acting more than ever before - mostly with the late Stella Adler, who was marvelous! - but in my earlier years….
I knew I had a great figure, but I never regarded myself as beautiful..
Elisha Cook was a darling, and full of the devil. A wired - up little fellow who was always busy, busy, busy..
The way animals were and are abused appalls me to this very day..
My forehead is sometimes too high, but bangs could correct this..
The scene where I took my eyelashes off we did in two takes..
I'm 5 foot 9, and there were two stars in my life who didn't mind that I was taller than they - George Raft and John Garfield.
In '48 when I left Metro, I tried to go back to radio, but somehow just didn't do well at it..
I thought my nose was too prominent so I had this corrected via plastic surgery in 1959..
