My mother begged doctors to end her life. She was beyond the physical ability to swallow enough of the weak morphine pills she had around her. When she knew she was dying I promised to make sure she could go at a time of her choosing, but it was impossible. I couldn't help. ↗

The studios knew how to build a star, and they knew what to do with you. They also taught you everything. ↗

And I can relate to that, because I went to an all white school, so I knew what that was like. And it was hard at the time, but anything that's difficult you learn from, don't you? ↗

It was scary, and I knew what it was like to be an unemployed actress again. ↗
