“Natalie plays a scene for laughs on the set of Sex and the Single Girl. “I’m much better in sad things than in comedies,” she mused in a 1966 journal entry. “My goal is to be able to convincingly play a happy lady.”

Natalie said her favorite scene in Rebel Without a Cause was one she shared with James Dean that was cut from the film.
“It was in the car. I was waiting for him and he comes up and we talk to each other. There was a section of the scene where I imply that I’ve sort of been around, that I’m not really pure.
I say to him, ‘Do you think that’s bad?’ And he says ‘No, I just think it’s lonely. It’s the loneliest time.’
I thought it was a wonderful line—right on the cutting room floor.”
