My desire for the part of Mammy was not dominated by selfishness for Hollywood has been good to me and I am grateful.
Playing the Mammy of Miss Leigh was just about the biggest thrill I've ever had.
I'm letting no man handle my bank account.
Bob Hope, Red Skelton, and Eddie Cantor... help us keep our balance.
In playing the part of Mammy, I tried to make her a living, breathing character, the way she appeared to me in the book.
It sure looks good to see an honest-to-goodness audience after looking at you all for so long from the silver screen.
