It’s been 35 years [since I was diagnosed with cancer] and I’m in great health now. I attribute that to early detection, swift medical action, a good life…and checkups! Doctors say you don’t need to come more than once a year, but I like to go every four to six months, so it’s soon enough to find something. My mother was a survivor for 40-plus year...
I’ve gotten letters over the years saying that the movie helped send people to a doctor, and as a result they saved their lives. My husband had a “you saved my life” file for me, but I haven’t looked at it. That’s where the humility comes in.
My mother was a very old-school woman who wanted to be an actress, but her family wouldn’t let her. So after my parents fled from Europe during World War II to Cambridge, Massachusetts, she saw me singing with the television when I was 4 and said, “Aha, we go to Hollywood!” She took my father, my brother and I to L.A. and started to give me singing...
I also did musicals. In the movie Gypsy I played Dainty June, and I did Babes in Toyland. I loved dancing with Ray Bolger in that one — he taught me the tango! And as a young adult, I was too tall to be cast as someone young, so I made my living by singing. I teamed up with a lady, Deborah Shulman, and we backed up Johnnie Ray on his world tour.
Great fun. First of all, I got to wear a wig! Michael Keaton had that unique quality, much like [my costar in Sugar Babies on Broadway] Mickey Rooney. Everything around him, he could make funny. He would pick up an inanimate object and say something or do something with it. He had everybody in stitches all the time.
When my son was around 4, I started to pull back a bit because I wanted to be a hands-on mom, and I left the industry. It was about being there for him.
I was 42 when I had my boy, seven years after getting breast cancer. After a 15-year marriage, you think maybe you’re not meant to have one. At one time I might have thought that I wouldn’t be able to. But he was a healthy boy, and grew up to be an international tax consultant who passed the bar the first time through! He’s just a joy. He lives abo...
My son has a beautiful voice and could have, because he’s handsome and talented. I was singing concerts with him because it only took a weekend here or there, but he chose another road. He’s wonderful.
Relaxing, sometimes just short of boring. [Laughs] But not really. I love to draw, to write, to be with my son, my husband and our friends. Ruta Leeis a friend of ours — she and I and our husbands were the Fabulous Four, then it became the Scintillating Seven. We meet up, laugh and enjoy life.
Being each other’s best friend, because it’s so important. And trying to “out-nice” each other, because marriage is teamwork. Give each other respect, and when you’re committed to the love, be committed.
