He was always like a father to me,

The big one I missed out on was 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.' MGM wanted me for it, and Warner Bros. wouldn't give me permission to do it.

Bad directors are the ones who want to tell you every move, and think they're a better actor than you.

When Clark Gable kissed me, they had to carry me off the set.

I was very young when I saw 'Gone With the Wind,' but I fell in love with Clark Gable. And when I got to work with him, I couldn't believe it. I still had a crush on him. He was quite an old man by then; he must have seen that I was head over heels, even though I was married.

He was one of the greatest parts of the past in country music in this country that anybody will ever see.
