I was always one step behind Marilyn. She made all the right moves, hung out with the right people who could advance her career. I was just the opposite. I was always breaking dates with moguls and running off with guys younger than myself.

I'm going to tell you something: it's a job to be glamorous. I mean, if you think it comes easy, it doesn't. Marilyn went through it; all the sex symbols go through it.

I was always protective of Jayne. I never allowed people to talk about her behind her back because those same people would talk about me.

Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and I were so different from each other. I was doing very young movies, and Marilyn, who was ahead of me, was doing a lot of homogenized movies that weren't quite as wild as the ones I was doing. Jayne was more of a character of herself.
