When I first began, the technicians, camera and makeup men made me feel so self-conscious that I began to have the biggest inferiority complex about my looks.
I had a flair for comedy and could give a sustained performance.
I collaborated on most of my dance numbers, literally 50/50, with the choreographers I worked with.
I dreaded doing close-ups.
In films, the fact that you can always do a scene again takes a load off your mind, enabling you to strive for perfection, which I always wanted.
