My forehead is sometimes too high, but bangs could correct this.

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.

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

Of course, in later years, I'd studied acting more than ever before - mostly with the late Stella Adler, who was marvelous! - but in my earlier years, I couldn't afford to do this.

I didn't know I was doing film noir, I thought they were detective stories with low lighting!

I had to do a tango with Raft and I learned to dance in ballet shoes with my knees bent.
