I spent a great deal of time with Che Guevara while I was in Havana. I believe he was far less a mercenary than he was a freedom fighter.
Being an Irishwoman means many things to me. An Irishwoman is strong and feisty. She has guts and stands up for what she believes in. She believes she is the best at whatever she does and proceeds through life with that knowledge. She can face any hazard that life throws her way and stay with it until she wins. She is loyal to her kinsmen and accepting of others. She's not above a sock in the jaw if you have it coming.

I was born into the most remarkable and eccentric family I could possibly have hoped for.

I watch and listen to movies today and am shocked by the way actors deliver their lines. Everybody mumbles now and I don't understand why.

After I got to Hollywood, I resented that I didn't get a crack at more dramatic roles because I photographed so beautifully.
How could you get angry with Jackie Gleason?
God has a most wicked sense of humor.
