#Quote
1The blacklisting that took place in Hollywood was slightly different than how you hear of it today. There was a genuine Communist threat in this country and there were Communistic actors, directors, screenwriters and producers in Hollywood trying to grab control of the industry and use it for their own end, which was to spread Communist propaganda throughout the country and the world. The system used to get rid of the Communists was bad. Joseph McCarthy and his methods were a little cruel and drastic. But the Communist danger was there. And it has grown.
2Working with comedians like [Bob Hope] and [Danny Kaye] taught me timing, pace and fine points of acting I never would have learned otherwise.
3I was a better actress than I was given credit for. I know that for a fact. But you get stamped . . . categorized as pretty, a beauty, shapely . . . and you're just stamped for life.
4[on how she met her husband, Michael O'Shea] He just sat there watching me, and then he walked right up and kissed me.
5[on Alan Ladd] And I worked with Alan Ladd who, along with Gregory Peck, was my favorite leading man. He was a beautiful man, charming and gentle, and I think, of all my leading men, he worked best with me.
6[on James Cagney] Jimmy Cagney was the most dynamic man who ever appeared on the screen. He should have won five Oscars, he was so fabulous. He stimulated me to such an extent. I must say that I didn't have to act very much; I just had to react to him because he was so powerful.
7[on Doris Day] I loved working with her. We used to call her Miss Sparkle Plenty because she was so vivacious.
8[on Jack Palance] I must say Jack Palance was a drag. We were together in The Silver Chalice (1954). The way he did his work was strange. He was a weird actor and I didn't like working with him at all.
#Fact
1Auditioned for the part of "Lisa Douglas" in Green Acres (1965) but lost out to Eva Gabor.
2Mayo was once termed "the most beautiful blonde in the world" and her beauty so impressed the Sultan of Morocco than seeing her was "tangible proof of the existence of God.".
3In 1963 and 1964 she joined fellow actresses Joan Caulfield, Ruth Hussey, Yvonne De Carlo, Marie Windsor, Laraine Day, and Maidie Norman, in making appearances on behalf of U.S. Sen. Barry M. Goldwater, the Republican nominee for President in the campaign against U.S. President Lyndon Johnson.
4Was a lifelong staunch supporter of the Republican party.
5Biography in: "The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives". Volume 7, 2003-2005, pages 360-361. Farmington Hills, MI: Thomson Gale, 2007.
6Was Paul Newman's first on-screen leading lady, in the Biblical Epic The Silver Chalice (1954).
7In Italy, most of her films were dubbed by Dhia Cristiani although at the beginning of her career Rosetta Calavetta, Lidia Simoneschi and Rina Morelli also occasionally lent their voice to her.
8One daughter with Michael O'Shea - Catherine Mary (b. 1953)
9Early on, using her real name of Virginia Jones, she played a straight woman in vaudeville for four years to a performing horse act. The "horse" was comprised of two men known as the Mayo Brothers; hence her stage name.
10Was slightly cross-eyed and had to be carefully photographed.
11Her vocals were always dubbed: by Louanne Hogan in The Princess and the Pirate (1944), by Betty Russell in The Kid from Brooklyn (1946), by Jeri Sullavan in A Song Is Born (1948) and by Bonnie Lou Williams in her six singing roles at WB from 1949-57.
