[in an interview while a child star] I'm going to be an actress until I die.

[on her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame] I was at the groundbreaking ceremonies, with my gold shovel. My goddaughter, who lives in the Hollywood Hills, occasionally goes down there - and has to clean it! It was taken up when they were putting in the Metro - the subway system. Now it's back, so when tourists go to Gower, then walk to Vine, they have to pass over my star!

[on Wild Heritage (1958)] There was a lot of publicity about it, saying it was the first "grown-up" picture for two former child stars, Gary Gray and myself. Also, there was a lot of publicity on the fact Gary and I were getting our first screen kisses!

[on Will Rogers Jr.] He was a simple man who was not confident with acting. It was not his thing.

[on Maureen O'Sullivan] I loved her, a delightful person. I used to go to her home in Beverly Hills and play. Her son, Michael, who was a couple of years older, was very nice...and very good-looking. It was crush time.
