As quoted in "Rita Remains Striking, Trim, Busy" in The Palm Beach Post (16 October 1969)]
Kontext: Everybody else does nude scenes, but I don't. I never made nude movies. I didn't have to do that. I danced. … I was provocative, I guess in some things. But I was not completely exposed.
AP reports, (1 November 1963)
Kontext: I've had a lot of unhappiness in my life — and a lot of happiness. Who doesn't? Maybe I've learned enough to be able to guide my daughters.
