And if real life was like the movies, I should have lived happily ever after.

I was so flattered to be asked to be in the movies - the idea of being paid to act was heady stuff.

But then I became so disillusioned.... I had very little life experience and certainly no technique to deal with comedy with any flair.

I dropped the script in the fireplace, called my agent and said, they can jail me, sue me, but I'm never acting again, unless I can do something worthwhile.

Believe me, when an actress is told that her very name is synonymous with bad acting, she's had it.
