  • Quotes
    [on her radical mastectomy in November 1976] No! Oh no -heavens, no. I've heard women say they'd rather lose their right arm, and I can't imagine it. It's so stupid. I can ever wear my evening clothes. Go as quickly as possible and get it done. Once it's done, put it behind you and go on with your life.
