Personal Quote:
My first sarong was blue. I asked for it because that's my lucky color. We made the picture [The Jungle Princess (1936)] on some hard-to-reach mountain crags in California. While we were there they remembered I could sing, so they wrote "Moonlight and Shadows" and sent the guy on a donkey with it through the passes. See more »Trademark:
