She had a great sense of humor. She wanted to know what mascara I used and I gave it to her. We once went to dinner at Jean Howard’s house … we have dinner and she was reciting poetry in German. Then it was time to leave so I go to where the car is parked and she walks me out like a parking attendant. She opens the door for me on the right side. But the steering wheel is on the left. So I get in and she looks at me and says “Where is the steering wheel?” I said, “It’s on the other side.” And she said “Well, why are you sitting here?” I said “Because you opened the door for me …” and she started to laugh like a Ninotchka, you know … and that was the last time I ever saw her.
