Everybody has some sorrow, worry, and everybody asks God for help.

I can't help but think it's such a privilege. Not only being in that wonderful classic film, but living in this country -- America -- makes it a wonderful life,

Life continues to be difficult. It always will be because that's just life. But I am so glad I have put some happiness into the world.

With a lot of help from my high school teachers, I went to college and became a medical tech at a clinic outside Kansas City.

My Aunt Marsha ruled the family with a rod of iron. She was one wicked, mean woman.

I grew up in Hollywood during WWII, and my mother was afraid that my father was going to be drafted because she didn't think we were going to be able to live on army pay. She didn't want to have to get a job, so she decided to put me to work, and that's how I got started in the movies.
