Aron Kincaid on Bobbi Shaw-The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini—“Bobbi had a standoffish attitude.  She fancied herself some brilliant comedienne and thought the material was beneath her.  She acted as if I didn’t exist.  I really didn’t care for her at all.”

Chris Noel on Mary Ann MobleyGirl Happy—“Mary Ann was a phony.  She was the only person I worked with that I would say that about.  She was saccharine, sweet and phony!”

Quinn O’Hara on Raquel WelchA Swingin’ Summer—“I didn’t have a hell of a lot of choice of what to wear since I barely had time to get a wardrobe together.  I thought Raquel is going to have to like it or lump it because I wasn’t getting another swimsuit.”

Darlene Tompkins on Joan BlackmanBlue Hawaii—“Joan Blackman was very full of herself.  I had heard of her and thought she was a star so I wasn't surprised.”

Bart Patton on James DarrenGidget Goes Hawaiian—“He didn’t know how to swim.  It was ridiculous seeing him in the water pretending to surf.”

Laurel Goodwin on Stella Stevens - Girls! Girls! Girls! - "She was very aloof to everybody, even to Elvis. I heard gossip and stories about her from wardrobe to makeup to hairdressing. They called her Madame Stella - she thought she was some great stellar star. And she really wasn't much of anything at that time"

Sharyn Hillyer on Joey Bishop - A Guide for the Married Man - "Joey Bishop knew my husband and he still came on to me. I was so angry at that asshole. I just felt he was an absolute creep."

Diane McBain on Robert Conrad - The Wild Wild West - "Robert Conrad was short. He also wore a huge ego so that no one would ever accuse him of being short. I had to stand in a hole, which the crew dug for me every time I had to be next to Conrad during our love scenes."

Pamela Tiffin (right) on her co-stars - The Pleasure Seekers - "I tried to make friends with Ann-Margret and Carol Lynley. But I think both of them at that time weren't interested in friendship with another woman. Carol was especially reserved and aloof."
