I was cast in a film toward the end of high school. Even then, I wasn't sure.

I built my entire career off of teen comedies. I was in 'Bring It On'.

I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.

I got into acting to get my foot in the door for film-making.

And then I went into television; and then television moved from the East Coast to Hollywood.

Later, my father died up in Marysville. So, my mother and I got in the car and came down to Hollywood.

I was a kid who went to film school and fell into acting.

I came to Hollywood and nobody knew me. I was on a coupla TV shows.

My first year and a half in Hollywood, I did three films. Then in 1959, I was in 'Gidget,' 'Imitation of Life' and 'A Summer Place.' After that, I was a star. It was fun.
