Once I married Fernando, I became invisible.

I think it's so funny when people think they can't control a movie star. They can. We're just women, you know.

Critics established a snobbery toward me.

I was the only swimmer in movies. Tarzan was long gone, and he couldn't have done them anyway; he could never have gotten into my bathing suit.

When you’re out of sight for as long as I was, there’s a funny feeling of betrayal that comes over people when they see you again.

I remember when I first walked into Mayer’s cavernous office. You had to walk 50 yards to get to him, and in that time he could really study everything about you.

We can’t all win Olympic medals. Even I never won one.

Marriage to Fernando offered shelter and security, but the shackle was the price I’d pay.

I always felt that if I made a movie, it would be one movie; I didn’t see how they could make 26 swimming movies.

I took my daily swim at the Beverly Hills Hotel pool despite the presence of onlookers.
