• Treasure : I bet you thought my name was Treasure, huh? Treasure Evans. Just like the rest of the world thought. My fans; my public. Bet you thought that there were my parents, looking down at this cuddly little baby and saying "Ah, isn't she a treasure?" Why don't we call her that? No, that ain't the way it happened.

  Treasure : [she continues]  No, there I was on my lovely, little sixteen year old backside. Or was I on my belly? I really don't remember. Well, anyway, right side up or upside down, there I was, stretched out on the casting couch. Oh, yeah - they had casting couches.

  Treasure : [she continues]  And there was this fat, ugly, old producer. Well, he was important, I don't know, he was more than a producer, he was like a studio head. And he says to me: "Mary" - my real name, Mary - at any rate there he is looking down at me and drooling, and he says "Mary, you're a treasure".

  Treasure : [she continues]  Well, not long after that I became a star. Big house in Beverly Hills. I had a swimming pool; three pictures a year to do; jewellery; oh, good jewellery. And telephones - telephones everywhere. Ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling. "Hello, hello" - my telephone voice - "Hello, this is Treasure Evans".
