And if real life was like the movies, I should have lived happily ever after.
It took a long time, but I have learned that you just can't take anything you want out of life without putting something back in exchange.
Ive always felt robbed of something by people not knowing I was a Jew.
If I had stayed in Hollywood, I would have killed myself. Or someone would have done it for me.
I never forget, remember that. Not an action, not a name, not a face.
I had highfalutin ideas about being a serious actress when I was 16, 17, and first signed at Universal. I was so flattered to be asked to be in the movies - the idea of being paid to act was heady stuff.
The fact is, I never wanted to be a movie star.
Believe me, when an actress is told that her very name is synonymous with bad acting, she's had it.
I'm one of those people who has always been a bridesmaid.
