YAM: What was it like working with Hitchcock?
Diane Baker: He was an extraordinary man, brilliant filmmaker, but he was tough on us actresses.

YAM: So he was not an easy person to work with?
DB: No, no, you’ll have to ask Tippi about that.

YAM: How tough would you say?
DB: Well, he was difficult.

YAM: Was Sean Connery as attractive as he looks?
DB: Of course; he still is. He is a great gentleman and that’s what we need more of: gentleman. Gentlemen and gentle women and talented people, actors. We must work on talent.
