| Quotes: |
I'm an old-fashioned girl, and I didn't believe in living with people, so I guess I married for the wrong reasons at times.
<br />
<hr>
Farrah Fawcett had courage, she had strength, and she had faith. And now she has peace as she rests with the real angels. (On Farrah Fawcett's death)
<br />
<hr>
[When asked whether she met Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett for the first time during "Charlie's Angels"] No, I met them both before the show. I met Farrah on a Max Factor commercial, and we were each doing different things. And I just remembered thinking she's from Texas and we both loved our parents and we had a lot in common at that time. I remember thinking, "I like this girl," never thinking that we'd go on and be on a show together. It was just that we were two girls doing a Max Factor commercial who had a lot in common. I liked her. She was sweet. She was interesting. She wasn't the typical actress. I think part of our success was we weren't competitive or desperate for screen time. We liked one another. I met Kate again at another audition. She always seemed, when Farrah and I started the show, like she knew the ropes and she was sort of the leader, and she was. She was very bright, very articulate, very outspoken.
<br />
<hr>
I lose track of dates and times. Anywhere from 1982 on, I have it more in order. My son was born in 1982. My daughter was born in 1985. And then, other than that, numbers fly totally out of my mind. I'm not a number person. It's hard to keep track of all the projects I worked on. I sort of stay in the moment.

[on Tanya Roberts' passing]: Tanya joined Charlies Angels for the final season, closing it out as it was initially intended with a red head, a brunette and a blonde. She brought joy to so many people and had a career spanning decades. Good bye angel, Rest In Peace. |
