Mom never quit on me. My only regret is that she didn`t live long enough to share some of the money and comforts my work in show business has brought me.
In her whole life Mom never earned more than five or six dollars a week. Being without a husband, it was hard for her to find any place at all for us to live.
Mom was the greatest influence of my childhood. She wanted to save me from the vice, lust, and drinking that was all about me.
