My marriages have been one of the greatest voids in my life. ”

I had a normal life; we didn't meet movie stars. We lived in Texas where you had rollerskates, and if you got a bicycle, that was a very big gift. ”

Hollywood has been an enormous part of my life, as I know it has been for countless fans all over the world. ”

In life, I'm like Molly Brown. I've had tough times along the way and gone through experiences that many women have gone through. But I ain't down yet. ”

The only way to make it through life is to fight. ”

Those were hard times, but I loved living there. I would walk on the tracks, hopping, skipping. I enjoyed the neighborhood, I enjoyed El Paso. I remember being chased by tumbleweeds on windy days; they came up to my neck. ”

We slept in the park before we had a house, and eventually we shared a home - my parents, my grandparents and five uncles, my family, all of us - on White Oaks Street by Magnolia Street near the railroad. Those were hard times, but I loved living there. ”

My dreams kind of came through when I went to see the cinema. ”

My lifetime dream has been to assemble and preserve the history of the Hollywood film industry. ”

Fred Astaire was my dream dancer. ”
