In a light-hearted interview with, however, serious undertones, Miss Faye expressed her concern for her financial future. To quote her words, “I think most of the young players in pictures to- will save many heartaches in the fu- ture.” In the same breath with her as- surance that she has insured her fi- nancial independence, Miss Faye, with a smile, apologized for repeating the old adage that money isn’t every- thing, and stated that If the movies were to deprive her of some day hay- ing a husband and children, she would quit immediately.
