“Wrinkles are hereditary. Parents get them from their children.”

“Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.”

“I've just always loved animals.”

“I'm tired of being thought of as Miss Goody Two-Shoes... the girl next door, Miss Happy-Go-Lucky.”

“I've never met an animal I didn't like, and I can't say the same thing about people.”

“I like joy; I want to be joyous; I want to have fun on the set; I want to wear beautiful clothes and look pretty. I want to smile, and I want to make people laugh. And that's all I want. I like it. I like being happy. I want to make others happy.”

“If there is a Heaven, I'm sure Rock Hudson is there because he was such a kind person.”

“I rented a place that I could have dogs - not in my house. I rented a big place. And I was able to have the SPCA every end of the week bring many, many dogs to me. They all were in nice places, clean, everything was fine. I took good care of them. And so many people called.”

“I don't know if I want to get married again.”

“When I was a teeny little girl, I was in dancing school, and I sang. We had to put a dance to a song, so I went to the 10-cent store one day and looked at all the sheet music. It was all laid out, and I picked 'Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries.'”

“I like to sing love songs.”

“I always feel a rise in my scalp or in the backs of my wrists when something is special, whether it be a song or a man.”

“Killing an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn't meant to be, and we have no right to do it. A woman gains status when she refuses to see anything killed to be put on her back. Then she's truly beautiful.”

“I had a wonderful family including my aunts, uncles and cousins but they've all gone to heaven.”

“Well I do find the beauty in animals. I find beauty everywhere. I find beauty in my garden.”

“The happiest times in my life were the days when I was traveling with Les Brown and his band.”

“Sometimes I think I should have stayed longer and I should have done more films.”

“If I'd find a dog, I'd try to find the owner, of course, but it was mine! I just can't live without them; I love them so much. I have cats, too. People call me all the time and say, 'We know of a couple of cats people don't care for,' and I say, 'Bring them!' That's it - two words. I'm always open for that.”

“The really frightening thing about middle age is the knowledge that you'll grow out of it.”

“I don't even like parties.”
