Oh darling, haven’t you heard, I’m quite the party girl. I love to dance, hell I’ve won my share of trophies for it. Being an actress is my talent, being a star is my life. I live for my fans and never want to let any of them down. I also like to knit and clean the house from top to bottom. I like everything to be tidy, it keeps me busy. Despite what you might hear, being a mother is one of my many blessing. I had hard times raising the children, but nothing is supposed to be easy. I just have a great love for people, but it’s my fans that have kept me going. I love you all……
Spending time with the children, Christina, Christopher, Cathy and Cindy.
Anyone up for tennis?
Well you of course, my fans and soon to be friends. No one else gave me as much love and support as my fans, I do everything for you. I love to receive all your wonderful messages, it simply makes my day.

"My Way Of Life" by me Joan Crawford!
William Haines is a true hero for me.We had a friendship that lasted our entire lives. Not only did he take me under his wing and teach me all the tricks when I came to Hollywood, but he is a very courageous man. He was an out and proud gay man in a time when it was unheard of. He would not hide who he was and because of that it cost him his career in showbiz. He then became an interior designer and spent his life with his lover Jimmy Shields. I think of them as the happiest married couple in Hollywood. Not long after Billy Haines died of lung cancer his lover Jimmy took his life. He put on Billy’s pajamas, took a bottle of pills and climbed in their bed. I just know they are together now. May God bless them......
