Phyllis Smith

Everybody wants to shine a little bit, even a wallflower.

In my heart, my first desire was to be a dancer. I always wanted to dance and I danced from the time I was 7 till I was well into my 30s.

IMDB's not the most accurate. Even my birth place and my age are wrong there.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

Basically, I've always had a complex with the way I walk. I've not always been told I've got a bad walk, but someone's always commented on my walk.

I wanted to be a male ballet dancer.
