“The role of Barbara, in Music for Millions, was literally a tonic for me.”

“I'd just as soon stay home and raise babies.”

“It was my first straight dramatic role, and the most adult, intelligent one I have ever played.”

“For the first time in my life I feel important. I'd like to have five babies.”

“I don't like to fight.”

“Because of the wealth of fine music spread through the film, working on it held all the fun and excitement of attending a great concert.”

“I'm not a career woman.”

“I was at a luncheon; and some cameras were trained on us. I don't know whether they were for television or not. You know how little I know about cameras.”

“So, to prepare for the role, I had to take music lessons, talk to wives who had husbands overseas, and carefully study the reactions and mannerisms of a friend who was expecting.”

“The first day I arrived, they told me to go home and get rid of that cold.”
