I have an education degree from the University of Minnesota, and I was a teacher for about a minute.
If somebody invented cigarettes today, the government would not legalize them.
Almost every person over 45, and definitely those who have ever smoked, should have a spirometry test.
There’s one spectacular scene I did with Frank Bonner, who played the salesman who was always after me. Jan Smithers, who played Bailey Quarters, told me to accept a date with him and maybe I would scare him away and he would leave me alone. However, it didn’t scare him. We have a scene alone in my apartment, which was so beautifully written. Frank is really poignant in it. It was such a wonderful scene to play because he’s so talented and gifted. We got fan letters, the two of us, from Steve Allen and Jack Lemmon about that scene. So I think that’s my favorite memory.
