Personal Quote:

[on her stage act and Judy Garland] No, I'm not nervous on the stage. Well, I was one day, but that was because Judy Garland was in the audience. You could hear my knees shaking. Judy is a friend of mine, and I hope some day to arrive not where she is, but well, somewhere near that. See more »

Trivia:

Cast at age three in Moby Dick (1930) starring John Barrymore. She was assigned to play a tiny tot who had to remove her dress in front of the camera. She refused to do so and was replaced in the role. See more »
