Personal Quote:

I loved being at the studio [20th Century-Fox]. After all, I started at 15, and I grew up there. But there comes a time when an actress stays too long in the same place. People get used to having you around, and they can't think of you in a different light. See more »

Trivia:

Died ten years to the day after Cheaper by the Dozen co-star, Myrna Loy. See more »
