Cleo Moore

You know just because youre a blonde type doesnt mean you cant suddenly do serious parts.

I like to take afternoon naps in the nude.

Anything I learned about the fine art of acting I learned from Hugo.

They seem to be charmed by my Southern accent.

I'm not a very good painter, but I'm learning a lot.

And I usually use myself as a model, posing in front of a mirror as I dab the strokes on the canvas.

One newspaper even published one of my nude paintings - the one of me naked from the waste up.

You know, just because you're a blonde type doesn't mean you can't suddenly do serious parts.

Painting self-portraits without clothes on has also given me some publicity.

Tell me the truth - do you think I've lost my Southern accent? I feel it comes back to me only when I'm shouting at fights or at baseball games.

None of the European girls, including Anita Ekberg, has anything not found on American girls as well.

It was strange what happened to me; I mean popping out like that before I was even ten.

I like to paint nudes mostly.

They want a lip print for their autograph books. I'm a sport; I go along.

Believe it or not, I was all fully rounded by the time I was nine years old.

We made one film called Thy Neighbor's Wife in which I got flogged at the public whipping post for adultery. I did my best acting in that film, I guess.
