“I’m tired of being thought of as Miss Goody-Two-shoes, the girl next door, Miss Happy-Go-Lucky. You doubtless know the remark dear Oscar Levant once made about me - ‘I knew her before she was a virgin.’ Well, I’m not the All-American Virgin Queen and I’d like to deal with the true, honest story of who I really am. This image I’ve got - oh, how I DISlike that word ‘image’ - but it’s not me, not at all who I am. It has nothing to do with the life I’ve had.”

“We used to giggle a lot,” Miriam said. “She loved to laugh, and I do too. As a matter of fact, when I’d be on the set, she could be doing a dramatic scene…But if I were standing by the camera, she’d just look at me and break out laughing. The director would say to me, ‘What did you do?’ I kept saying, ‘I didn’t do anything.’ And he’d respond, ‘Don’t stand by the camera,’ or ‘Don’t be in Doris’s sight line.’ So I had to stand out of the light so she couldn’t see me watching her.”
