The role of Barbara, in Music for Millions, was literally a tonic for me.

The first day I arrived, they told me to go home and get rid of that cold.

So, to prepare for the role, I had to take music lessons, talk to wives who had husbands overseas, and carefully study the reactions and mannerisms of a friend who was expecting.

It was my first straight dramatic role, and the most adult, intelligent one I have ever played.

I'm not a career woman.

I'd just as soon stay home and raise babies.
