“No one knew I was in pictures! When I was asked, Do you work? and I said, Yes, I'm an actress, people replied, Oh, really. Have we seen any of your pictures? When I answered, Singin' in The Rain (1952) , they said, Oh, we don't remember you in that. And, if I said The Asphalt Jungle (1950) , they said, Well, now . . . we don't remember you in that, either - what part did you say you played? My answer to that was: I wasn't Marilyn Monroe!”
