Elizabeth Taylor is one of the great cultural icons. She is a part of our history and should be celebrated.… This presentation is very special for the community, there are so many people who want to understand this side of Elizabeth Taylor.
Lupe Velez was way before me; Dolores Del Rio was way before me, so I had no one. So the only one I could think of that I identified with was this gorgeous creature named Elizabeth Taylor, so she became my role model.
(On Bette Davis) Even when I was carrying a gun, she scared the be-jesus out of me.
Fred Astaire was retired when he worked in 'The Pleasure of His Company.' They were lucky to get him to play the father part.
The greatest leading man, in my opinion, will always be Cary Grant.
Jon Voight is a consummate American actor.
I've had a passion to play Marilyn Monroe for a really long time.
Cary Grant was one of the most marvelous men I've ever met.
I just love westerns. One of my favourite actors is John Wayne, probably one of the most underrated actors there's ever been. He's quite an incredible actor.
I miss the generation of actors such as John Mills, where it doesn't surprise you at all when he crops up in a film tap-dancing.
I don't think I fit the Marilyn Maxwell mode.
There are some fabulous treasures of photos of me during the early days of my career; there are these pin-up photos that make me laugh: I look like the poor man's Maria Montez. But there are some I look at, and I didn't realize how sexy I looked back then.
The only reason I did Showtime was Robert De Niro. I definitely consider him to be in the top 5 all time actors.
