In the summer of 1. Miss Eight Ball and Miss Palm Springs. He dated her for five years and launched her career by placing her in several RKO films.
His painting of Van Doren was on the July 1. Esquire magazine. Child's father is her second husband Ray Anthony. In addition to USO shows, she visited hospitals, including the wards of amputees and burn victims. She has consistently denied in interviews ever having breast implants.
It also provides contemporary topless and nude photographs and her outspoken political views. My hope was to endure. He asks Faith how old she is. He asked me the same thing.
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: . I look barely old enough to drive. I have always been happy in my own skin!
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. 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.
It's just the way I've always been. It didn't hurt playing opposite Clark Gable. One of my favorite movies is Born Reckless (1. I just saw for the first time on TCM's retrospective of my movies. No sooner would we finish a scene than we would disappear into my dressing- room for a quick fuck while they set up the next shot. When Ray opened the door without knocking, he found me sitting astride Steve having sex in a chair.
He just put me through hell. I was raised in South Dakota.
My mom and dad were pretty wild and they had me as kids. And I grew up around people who were very open about sex. When the war came out we moved to California and I took all the opportunities I could get.
I never wanted to be a trophy wife. I wanted to make it on my own. I didn't want to depend on a man.
He was looking for a wife and genuinely cared for me. Well, he had the hots for me is more like it. I would have made a great princess. After all, I wasn't doing anything Grace Kelly wasn't doing at the time, and the princess bit really saved her reputation. Marilyn Monroe was at 2. Century Fox. When I started at Universal, it was James Bacon who put the publicity out that my name was Mamie Van Doren and I was Universal's answer to Marilyn Monroe. That really launched my name.
I took a bunch of sexy pictures, and then they put me in The All American (1. My next picture was Yankee Pasha (1. Jeff Chandler, which was a very sexy role as a slave girl. If you do one movie after the other, and you're out there all the time, and out doing publicity and romancing the stars of the top studios, you become known.
That is the way it was. I've had a facelift, but nothing else. No Botox or implants or collagen. What I think happens is that actresses and actors go in to see the doctors, and the doctors say something will make them look better, and they believe it. They do the operation, but what happens is that it's too much. They put the cheekbones too high, and they look like they have little pins in their face for eyes, and they all have that same look.
When I go to Hollywood, I see people but don't recognize them, and that's not good. They want to look young, and age has always been the . It always has been and always will be.
Everybody is so age- conscious. When a woman is beautiful, she radiates the moment she walks in the room.
There is almost a light around her. There are very few women who have that. I try to stay ahead of everybody today, too. I've got so many ideas. There is so much you can do. Tony Curtis was wonderful.
He and I hit it off very well and he became a personal friend of mine. Steve Cochran was the sexiest man I have ever known. We made two movies together (The Beat Generation (1. The Big Operator (1. Sadly, Steve had a very dark and abusive side, which eventually made me decide not to see him again.
He asked me one last time to go with him on his boat to Mexico where he was going to shoot a movie. When I turned him down, he recruited several other girls to go. Steve died of a heart attack on the way and drifted for days with a boat load of girls until the Coast Guard found them. Ryan Gosling is really hot.
I would be in any shot he fucking wants me in. I never expected to be sitting in the White House and have him reach under the table and try to play with me or spin me around the President's chair.
But if Henry hadn't had dental problems, I would have probably gone to bed with him because I thought he was very sexy, but that turned me off. I don't like to have just muscles.
I try to exercise to keep my breasts firm and nice so they don't hang, because my breasts are large, so I like to keep them strong. We did a layout together for Vanity Fair and we had great fun. She is honest, funny, and unpretentious. Ryan Gosling and Daniel Craig are two guys that I like to watch.
Unfortunately, there are no Clark Gables, Cary Grants, or Susan Haywards anymore because the studio system no longer exists that groomed and promoted them. Nothing remains the same. The universe revolves whether or not we like it, so you might as well smile. I'm *not* an 8. 0 year- old virgin, and good sex really does help.
If you didn't have good sex, you might not live a long time, but it would sure seem like it. All that said, one of the interesting things about longevity, if one is a so- called celebrity, is that you are seldom the one hearing the clock ticking. Everyone else goes out of their way to watch the hands and never hesitates to let you know when one clicks to the next number.
I'd refused to be an ornament for the studios, and I was damned if I'd be one at a bunch of dull cocktail parties. I was in the process of divorcing him and all of a sudden this judge annulled our marriage. I lived with that bastard for four months. If we'd been divorced, I would have received a great deal of money, but the old- boy network is very tight down here . I don't care about age. Life is too short to worry about what other people think.
Well, they got Jayne Mansfield, who was an unknown, and that made her famous. Well, Marilyn took off from 2.
Arthur Miller, and married him. I don't blame her. Well, they signed Jayne and then she did a couple of movies . She did a lot of publicity though. She loved to do publicity.
They were just kids themselves when I was born and we grew up together. They hadn't really bargained for having a baby so soon after they got together in one Sunday afternoon after church.
They loved adventure - fast cars, midget auto races, motorcycles, hard drinking. They were my Bonnie and Clyde. You have sensible gun laws, sensible national health care, and you don't go around bombing everyone if they don't agree with you. I have worked all over Canada: Toronto at the Royal York following Deitrich, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary.
Once I was the Queen of the Calgary Stampede, and I was singing when a cowboy rode his horse up on stage to dance with me. Where else could you have that much fun?
They both possessed a kind of reckless energy that I found, er, arousing. They were also very difficult to get along with in their own ways, but one makes allowances for a good bonk. But Hollywood never appreciated my talent. Most people don't get old. The odds are against you. And the discrimination towards anyone who's old is really bad.
I never did that with Marlene Dietrich or Mae West. I had a considerable amount of respect for my elders. If I had the urge to do someone in an elevator or a taxi or a swimming pool, that's where it happened. I think that had a lot to do with the movie industry being more independent and having more freedom to put on the screen what they wanted. That changed the movie industry, and that's where we are now. I think some of the actors today are excellent.
We have a lot of good actors out there. The girls today are different- looking. They are taller and they are not as voluptuous. They have more muscles in their legs.
Some guys like a lot of muscles on their women. I like muscles because I don't like flab. Too much exercise is a prescription for injury, and the regimen is often short- lived. Better to do your exercise on a scale that you can maintain over the years. Of course, in those days, he was considered the king of the movies. He had Vivien Leigh and Lana Turner and all these beautiful women in his arms and I was fortunate enough to do Teacher's Pet (1.
Well, I had a kissing scene with him, where he was holding me in his arms, and I nearly fainted. I think I was twenty- four, and he was in his mid- fifties, but it didn't matter to me, really. 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. I took my acting very seriously.
I did over 4. 0 films and naturally some of them were called B- movies because the woman was at the top of the billing. Women couldn't star in their own movies. I have often tried to define it myself.
A sex symbol becomes a code for everyone's erotic fantasy. These codes are very perishable in popular culture. For every Jean Harlow, Mae West, or Marilyn Monroe, there are scores of girls - and boys - who never made the cut.
If a sex symbol can survive more than a few years, they are very powerful.
