Betty White jokes are just not for me.
In Rio Bravo when Duke makes love to Feathers, the scene dissolves to the next morning where we see him putting on his vest and almost humming. It was subtle, but you knew what happened. Give me a towel and some blankets any day!
I remember a Humphrey Bogart movie where he was a reporter, so I wanted to be a reporter, and then he was a parachutist, and I wanted to be a parachutist.
I was 10 when I left Kulm, N.D. I had a wonderful childhood there, out playing in the mud. We moved to California then, but I still went to Catholic school, didn't grow up very sophisticated or very liberal.
My parents were Democrats, and I was a Democrat. And John Wayne was a Republican.
I have never knowingly dated a Republican.
My father, Leo Henry Brown, really was talented - he could write. He had a gift, and he had a great, sly humor.
There was this one movie I really wanted to do, with Gregory Peck, 'Captain Newman, M.D.,' and Universal said, 'Well, if you want that, you're going to have to sign a seven-year contract.' And I'd already been through that. But I needed it, so I signed.
Without Police Woman I wouldn't have had a career. The show started about the same time the women's movement was taking off. Ours was the first prime-time one-hour show featuring a strong, professional woman. It paved the way for other series to follow.
The romantic love of my life, I'm sure, was Burt Bacharach. I had a few that were wonderful, but I married him, and that's going pretty far.
When I completely submerge my sensuality or my sexuality, I'm not very interesting.
I wouldn't want to be known only as a sex symbol. I wanted to be known as an actress equally or even more so.
I think it was sexier when you didn't have to take it all off.
I was popular in high school. I smiled, and I laughed, and I talked, and I wasn't bad-looking, but I was never considered beautiful - never, ever.
I dress for women and I undress for men.
