A: In appearance, any reasonably popular star except Hope. In ability, Spencer Tracy. I I — Q: Have you ever yearned to be taller? A: Sure! Particularly when I'm with a tall leading lady.

A: Anything and everything I can find in the ice box — if Dixie doesn't catch me! 19 — Q: Do you and Dixie have a long-standing argument? A: Yes, about disciplining the kids.
