Ya te digo yo que es verdad

Tell me about some of the other big stars with whom you worked.
Oh, there were so many! I did four movies with
Danny Kaye. Danny was hilarious, always cutting up and doing funny things. I worked with
Jimmy Cagney in some films including “White Heat”. Jimmy should have won an Oscar for that film, but for some reason they thought gangster movies shouldn’t win Oscars. It’s a shame because Jimmy gave a magnificent performance.
How was Joel McCrea?
Wonderful, friendly, funny…great to work with. He loved to tell jokes, and his riding was like watching a symphony. He rode so beautifully.
What was it like working with Burt Lancaster?
He was very intense, but much more likable than
Kirk Douglas. He’s very intelligent and reads a lot. He used to keep in great shape. He was an acrobat and did his own trapeze work in one of his films.
He had a love scene and he was supposed to be angry at me. He grabbed and kissed me so violently that I thought I’d lost my teeth. My arms turned black and blue. I surely didn’t want to kiss him again.

Tell me about Gregory Peck.
Oh, now there’s a man! He’s so fantastic, wonderful, and charming. He and Reagan were equal in charm. Greg was a better actor because he took it more seriously than Ronnie (Reagan). Greg was great in love scenes. He was tender, sensitive, and a good kisser. Love scenes with him were enjoyable. ¿Lo ves?
