When Clark Gable kissed me, they had to carry me off the set.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I regret not doing a film that I was offered with Clark Gable because the script was not good enough.
I was very young when I saw 'Gone With the Wind,' but I fell in love with Clark Gable. And when I got to work with him, I couldn't believe it. I still had a crush on him. He was quite an old man by then; he must have seen that I was head over heels, even though I was married.
Everything about the studio was enormous. You walked through the gates of iron, and it was palatial looking. The first day, I was introduced to Clark Gable. He said, 'Hello, kid. Welcome to MGM. I'm just leaving.'
Clark Gable seemed fascinating all his life because there wasn't so much information about him. Today, you're on television all the time.
When I was little, I think that I wanted Superman to be my boyfriend.
With 'The Leftovers,' I was actually super, super lucky. It was my first major audition. When I came out, the casting director was kissing me on the face, and I was like, 'Oh, that's probably a good sign.'
George Reeves was really Superman in my eyes. For him to come on the set and be there was a treat for me.
Growing up I was a total movie-holic, but I always wanted to play the role that Clark Gable was playing or Spencer Tracy was playing. I was really never interested in the parts that women were playing. I found the parts that guys were playing were so much more interesting.
Cary Grant and I were doing a play in New York. He had a crush on me. Whenever we went to a party, he would always sit on the floor beside me. I thought that was kind of beautiful, like that's where he wanted to be.
When Clark Gable died, I cried for 2 days straight. I couldn't eat or sleep.
