beautiful teenager believe
Barely a teenager, Elizabeth Taylor was already more beautiful and voluptuous than Miss America. When she arrived at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel for our magazine shoot, I was bowled over. I couldn't believe she was only fourteen. She filled out a swimsuit better than I did. We did the pictures, including one shot of me teaching her to float. With that superstructure of hers, she floated just fine. What she couldn't do was sink.
dream husband father
The animus is symbolized by male figures appearing in a womans dreams and fantasies, as a husband, son, father, lover, Prince Charming.
husband drinking gambling
Even though I had a lucrative contract with MGM, I had a husband who was drinking and gambling our money away faster than I could make it.
eye home night
By the time I got home at night, my eyes were so chlorinated I saw rings around every light.
sports space champion
The newspapers loved pinup pictures of pretty young swimmers, and as a national champion, I got more than my share of space in the sports pages.
teenage teenage-life ideals
Everything about my teenage life was almost ideal.
mother sunday training
My training in Science of Mind had begun with my mother. She took me to a different church every Sunday, and she encouraged me to question the minister afterward.
hollywood would-be granted
I always took it for granted that there would be life after Hollywood.
swimming would-be made
I always felt that if I made a movie, it would be one movie; I didn't see how they could make 26 swimming movies.
men swag together
Victor Mature was a big man; he had a great swagger. I liked him and I knew we'd be good together on screen.
vegas use way
Howard Hughes himself was a regular at the restaurant, and in a way it became his headquarters, too. Howard had recently relocated to Las Vegas, so when he wanted to do business in Los Angeles, he went into the back of our restaurant to use the telephone.
betrayal sight long
When you're out of sight for as long as I was, there's a funny feeling of betrayal that comes over people when they see you again.
sports gold three
Three events. Three gold medals. I was news, big news, in the sports world.
jobs order swim
I took a job at the pool in order to earn the five cents a day it cost to swim. I counted wet towels. As a bonus, I was allowed to swim during lunchtime.
