#Quote
1[on Rod Cameron, with whom she made several westerns at Universal Pictures] Rod was the exact opposite of [Don 'Red' Barry]. Rod never lost his temper. He was very serious; very quiet. I liked him a lot.
2[on Don 'Red' Barry, her co-star in Adventures of Red Ryder (1940)] He had such a temper! He would walk off the set--often! Stopping production just because he disagreed with Bill Witney [director William Witney], or somebody, about some minor thing. I don't like saying negative things about the departed, but he wasn't a very nice fellow when we worked together.
