"Adored him, but he was a lost soul. Kept saying, "They dont make films here like we do in France, nest-ce pas?" [...] We filmed indoors on a studio stage with a recreated swamp. Jean could only clasp his arms and look horrified. He was limited in camera angles because of the transparency screens—a movement of inches and the screens would be exposed. And his English was learned from books. In conversation, he was terrible. One day he told a little girl extra to "Make some water." He meant get her dress damp because shed just been pulled from the swamp. Her mother was horrified, thinking hed asked her to tinkle—and slapped his face."

"I can report was twice as acerbic in person than on camera as Addison Dewitt. He was just plain nasty to poor Marilyn Monroe, who was always quaking in her boots. Hed pat her on the rump and say, "You almost got through that two-line speech, my dear. Shall we try again?"

"I wasnt pretty enough to be used for cutesy parts. At my very best, I was attractive. I was not a face, so I never got into that rut. I was also constantly dieting to get rid of my baby fat. I was having a hard time with that and think I probably had a mild case of bulimia. I became a foodaholic. I loved rhubarb pies. There used to be this little place on that made wonderful rhubarb pies. Id buy one, drive my car onto a side road, eat the whole thing, and then spit it back into the box. Id buy whole containers of ice cream and spit it into the disposal. It was disgusting!"
