"My father was very strict, and when I had a date, my poppa came in and just bawled the boy out, and I was furious with my father. My momma used to keep extra money in the sugar bowl, and I thought to myself, 'Well, I'm going to take that money, and I'm going to New York', because I wanted to be an actress. As I went to the station, I saw a great big sign with oranges growing which said California, and I said, 'What the devil! I'll go to California and get in pictures!' And so I did. I got a job the first day I went on an interview."
