[on Mamie Van Doren, with whom she worked in Star in the Dust (1956)] Oh goodness. She was from the blonde wig and tits era of Marilyn Monroe types. The producer of the film was Albert Zugsmith. When she met him, she said, "Glad to meet you, Mr. Smith".

Bruce Humberstone] to ask about the interpretation of the character. I wanted to know what the character was like before the point where the script began. Mr. Humberstone barked, "Just be like Betty Grable when it comes to lines--learn them, do them!".
