"I wasn't the beauty mother dreamed of. When I finally left, I said, "Look at me, Mom. I'm not dainty. I'm not a baby. It's all gone. Where do I go now? Because I am a gawky 12-year-old with no education. I'm not cute". The numbers I had learned to do weren't the style of the day. Let vaudeville die. I didn't want to die with it. But she was convinced vaudeville would come back. And I said, "I know I'm only 12 years old, but there is something out there better than this"."
