fun team successful
I appeared with many leading men. But working with Cary Grant was different from working with other actors. He was much more fun! I think we were a successful team because we enjoyed working together tremendously, and that pleasure must have shown through onto the screen. I will always remember two compliments he made me. He said I had perfect timing in comedy and that I was the sweetest smelling actress he ever worked with.
pneumonia scene glad
Of course WE never had to do nude scenes. I'm glad, too, because I'm susceptible to pneumonia.
swearing jane
I'll leave the swearing to the Jane Fondas.
