One day in Hollywood, I read a script in which the character was described as "charming but dull -- a typical Ralph Bellamy type". I promptly headed for New York to find a part with guts.
I always tell the producers, if I can't get the girl at the end of the
picture, at least give me more money.
I've been very lucky; like most actors and actresses, there have been times when I've gone hungry. My philosophy is just take it a day at a time. As far as I'm concerned, I'll never retire.
