I was making $50 a week as a house model at Christian Dior for nine months before I learned that photographic models made $50 an hour!
The last thing we need is yet another makeup company. Even I have a nervous breakdown when I go through the department store makeup floor.
I wanted to be a lot of things. There were a million things I wanted to do. I still do. Acting is one of the good ways of doing it you know, because you can be all those things.
If the accident of genes has put you in a place where you can be a role model, then be somebody!
I'm not really a movie star. No matter what I do in acting, whether I'm good, how much work I get, whatever, I never will be a movie star. Because I never think of myself as one. You are a movie star because you think of yourself as a movie star and always have.
No one's raising children any more. To love a child, you've got to work for it. You have to change its diapers and feed it at night!
Whatever tension is on set can end up on your face.
I don't spend much money on clothes; I never did.
I became a specialist at comedic one-liners.
I look at my first appointment book from 1965 and I get dizzy. I was constantly in a phone booth calling photographers.
Lord knows, I never want to waste any more of my time in mirrors.
Eileen Ford wanted me to fix my nose and my teeth. I said, Sure, great, but I really had no intention to.
I'm the oldest pretty face around.
When I went back to modeling, nobody knew how to deal with a 46-year-old model!
In 1974, the modeling world changed. Jerry Ford and my lawyer negotiated the deal for the first exclusive contract in modeling history.
I had 30-something years' experience in modeling, which is rare.
