And I do believe if a woman does equal work she should be paid equal money. But personally I am feminine and I do like male authority to lean on." "I was lucky enough to be the lady that was asked to be Maria in the Sound Of Music, and that film was fortunate enough to be huge hit. The same with Mary Poppins. I got terribly lucky in that respect." "My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy, because my mother kept a great deal to herself."
