#Quote
1I've never acted at my age and I never will. It's just the way I've always been.
2[on what her life has been like] Sometimes, I'm misunderstood and it's hard to come by that. My life has been full of excitement. I've done pretty much what I wanted to do. I came from the Midwest, from South Dakota, and I came up the hard way. We lived on a farm; we didn't even have electricity or running water, if you know what I mean. People don't know what that life is like.
3[The Toronto Sun, January 25, 2008] All the great sex symbols are dead. Jean Harlow is dead. Mae West is dead. Marlene Dietrich is dead. Marilyn Monroe is dead. And I'm not feeling too well myself.
4[July 20, 2009] On this 40th anniversary of the first landing on the moon, my thoughts go to the romantic adventurer, Buzz Aldrin. Buzz and I spent some memorable and erotic times together some decades ago, and he is often in my thoughts. After all, a man who could make it to the moon, could make it with me anytime.
5I have never been a Marilyn Monroe wannabe. I have always been happy in my own skin!
6[on her appearance in His Kind of Woman (1951)] If you blinked, you would miss me. I look barely old enough to drive.
7[Playboy magazine, on her breast measurement] I don't even want to say double-D, because they're even much bigger than that.
8[on the period in the early 1960s when she was engaged to baseball star pitcher Bo Belinsky] It was a wild ride, but a lot of fun.
9At my age, having an orgasm is like having an occasional cocktail.
10[on former suitor Howard Hughes] There's a scene in The Aviator (2004) that depicts Howard's first meeting with Faith Domergue that comes very close to the scene in my book "Playing the Field" describing my first meeting with him. He asks Faith how old she is. Answer: 15. He asked me the same thing. Answer: 16. He even asks if she lived with her parents and how nice it was that she lived at home. The only thing he didn't ask her in the movie was the main thing he asked me: "Are you a virgin?".
11I came to Hollywood determined to follow in Jean Harlow's footsteps, but I was determined not to die young. My hope was to endure. And endure I have.
12I don't wear panties anymore - this startles the Hollywood wolves so much they don't know what to pull at, so they leave me alone.

8Was considered for the role of Venus De Marco in the horror film The Ice House (1969), which went to Sabrina.
9She and her husband Thomas Dixon maintain her website where various merchandise along with home-made short films starring herself are available. It also provides contemporary topless and nude photographs and her outspoken political views.
10Since the release of her autobiography "Playing the Field", she has often been interviewed and occasionally returned to acting. She has consistently denied in interviews ever having breast implants.
11Though her film career seemed to have fallen from grace, she performed a nightclub act in Las Vegas, Nevada in the 1970s.
12During the Vietnam War, she did tours for U.S. troops in Vietnam for three months in 1968, and again in 1970. In addition to USO shows, she visited hospitals, including the wards of amputees and burn victims.
13In 1964, she was a guest at the Whisky a Go Go on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood when The Beatles were at the club visiting Jayne Mansfield, and an inebriated George Harrison accidentally threw his drink on her while trying to throw it on some bothersome journalists.
14In 1963, she posed twice for Playboy magazine to promote her film 3 Nuts in Search of a Bolt (1964), thought she was never a Playmate.

16Along with fellow platinum-blonde goddesses Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield, she was known as one of "The Three M's".

21Her film Untamed Youth (1957) was originally condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency, but that only served to enhance the curiosity factor, resulting in it being a big moneymaker for the studio.
22Was discovered by Howard Hughes the night she was crowned Miss Palm Springs. He dated her for five years and launched her career by placing her in several RKO films.
23Signed by Universal Studios at age 18 with the hope that they could make her their answer to 20th Century Fox's Marilyn Monroe.
24In the summer of 1949, at age 18, she won the titles Miss Eight Ball and Miss Palm Springs.
