Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny, but working with him, I found him to be a very serious man.

Honest to God, all my life I have had such a fear of spiders. In fact, I use to have a reoccurring dream about one. Very clearly, it was black with a red head. It would sit up in the corner of the bedroom and when it started getting closer, I would wake up in a panic.
