My mother, Evelyn, was an actress and singer, and my father, Jack, was an actor. My earliest recollection of my father is being taken to see him in a matinee.

It's not that my father didn't love me, it's just that he wasn't capable of consistently being there. His mood swings were gigantic.

My earliest recollection of the Giants was on a Sunday morning in the autumn of 1925,

I was always a singer and a dancer, and I always wanted to be an actress. For me, it's all just one thing.

When I was 11, I moved to Los Angeles to live with my father and stepmother and my half brothers. I became really close to my stepmother, and I am still very close to my brothers. My stepmother is the actress Shirley Jones, who was in 'The Partridge Family' alongside me, so we worked together for years.

I don't see myself being an actress forever.
