The way animals were and are abused appalls me to this very day.

I thought my nose was too prominent so I had this corrected via plastic surgery in 1959.

This has taught me that being pleasant is always so much more productive, for I know well the rewards for being good-natured.

I'm 5 9, and there were two stars in my life who didn't mind that I was taller than they - George Raft and John Garfield.

I got to know Sterling Hayden fairly well. He was a quiet man, who got more complicated as the years went on.
