Mother worked part time as a secretary in a dancing school to help me get lessons, and even grandmother took in sewing to lend a financial hand. My father, you see, worked hard but in a position which wasn't too lucrative. He wasn't too pleased about the career I'd chosen since he had rather conservative beliefs, but when he saw how important it was to me he put up no obstacles.

Being on my own wasn't the grand ball I thought it might be. I never had any sisters or brothers, so it was difficult at first to get used to rooming with another girl — and to having crowds around me all the time. Sometimes I'd get blue and lonely for home, but as a rule these moods would occur when I'd be rushing to put on makeup for a show or else hur (Please turn to page 62)
