Quotes
I enjoyed making films. I liked acting with other actors. The painful part came at the end when I was entering what casting directors called "the gawky period" for juveniles, which was early teens in my case. All at once it seemed that no one wanted me. It was some years before I really understood what had happened. I was devastated by what I took as rejection. I'm extremely grateful I had the opportunities I had as a child, and they led to a very satisfying second career. I also appreciate that some of the work I did in pictures still entertains people.
