[on why she initially turned down the role on Father Knows Best (1954)] I’d been doing a lot of live TV drama in which I was the star. I didn’t want to be just a mother.

I never vacuumed at home wearing my pearls. In fact, I never vacuumed at all. I was always working at the studio. I would have gone crazy staying at home like Margaret Anderson, and my family knew that.
