• Personal quotes "Yes, Howard Hughes (I) invented a bra for me. Or, he tried to.And one of the seamless ones like they have now. He was way ahead ofhis time. But I never wore it in The Outlaw (1943). And he neverknew....
  "They held up The Outlaw (1943) for five years. AndHoward Hughes (I) had me doing publicity for it every day, fivedays a week for five years".
  Publicity can be terrible. But only if you don't have any.
  Sometimes the photographers would pose me in a low-necked nightgown andtell me to bend down and pick up the pails. They were not shooting thepails.
  The girl with the summer-hot lips... and the winter-cold heart.
  The music these kids play nowadays, it's nothing but screaming andpounding drums! You can't hear the words, and that's just as well,because the words stink!
