I have done A movies too, but I preferred doing B movies—if that’s what people want to call them, then so be it. Elvis Presley did B movies; Jack Nic… - Mamie Van Doren

In films, she <nowiki>[Jayne Mansfield]</nowiki> played mostly character roles, while Marilyn did more sophisticated movies, and I did several rock 'n roll movies. The three of us were often compared, maybe because we had blonde hair, but all three of us were very different.

You know, talking about Marilyn Monroe is strange. To me, she’s a person; to most people, she’s an idea.

She <nowiki>[Marilyn Monroe]</nowiki> was so vulnerable to the world, but what a sweet person she really was, lovable, compassionate—I have nothing but grace for Marilyn, and she should have been at least nominated for an Academy Award for Bus Stop.. But in those days, they preferred to nominate the Bette Davis kind of stars.
