In her memoir, "Atta Girl: Tales From a Life in the Trenches of Show Business" (iUniverse, 179pp.), Pope described
Ann Miller, to whose "Mame" Pope played Agnes Gooch, as "A living piece of celluloid accustomed to acting only when the camera was on her, [Miller] stood or sat politely, her whole body totally still, expressing nothing while I said my lines. Then she'd burst into glorious song and dance. It was the closest I ever came to being in a Busby Berkeley musical.".
