Hayes: “There was a time when I thought the theater and all its absorbing work
had deprived me of other things in life. I have learned I was wrong. For what God
has given me through my profession has made me sometimes able to help others—and
myself. Certainly, it has made my life rich and meaningful.” Parade, March 1956.
