I played with dolls until I was 15. My mother encouraged it because my older sister got married when she was 15, so Mom thought that the longer I stayed with dolls, the better.
I was looking very much for a career. My second marriage to Stan Herman had ended, and I wanted very much to be independent, not take alimony from him, be on my own, do the right thing.
I was born in Connecticut. But my parents brought my sister and I to L.A. when-Hollywood, actually, when i was 6 months old.
You cry tears when a man leaves you at any age - it doesn't matter whether you are 20 or 60.
Find out what you don't want to know about yourself, what you're afraid of.
Every minute was more exciting than the next.
I'm not obsessed by how I look or with being reed thin, but I do think that as a woman in my 50s, I have 40 years ahead. Looking after yourself goes hand in hand with looking good.
My first speaking part was to read for John Forsythe for Bachelor Father. I was the lead, opposite him.
After Dynasty, I wanted a reality check. I wanted to get in touch with real life, you know? That kind of world is outrageous.
Right after Dynasty ended I had a facelift and laser surgery to get rid of lines around my eyes.
I no longer need to be someone's wife. I'm doing okay as I am.
Money to me is just the biggest blessing in the world that allows me freedom.
If there's no inner peace, people can't give it to you. The husband can't give it to you. Your children can't give it to you. You have to give it to you.
What you look like has nothing to do with what you think about yourself.
