Acting's Fun, But Life's More

With Any Group Of People In Life, Sad Things Happen, And Crazy Things, And Happy Things. When You're In The Public Eye, It's Just Amplified, That's All.

Just The Dream Of Every Aging Has-been Actress Who Slipped Out In Public Is To Work With A Bunch Of Gay Boys.

I Wandered Around Not Knowing What I Was Doing In The Great Waldo Pepper And Feeling Pretty Lost, And They Rightly Cut My Part Down. I Don't Think I Was In Very Good Emotional Shape. I Think I Was A Bit Of A Mess. I'd Done About Six Movies Back-to-back, And Was In A State Of Complete Exhaustion.

Mostly, In The Great Waldo Pepper I Remember The Lovely Ed Herrmann Befriending Me And Taking Care Of Me. I Was Crying A Lot. I Was A Real Mess When We Made That. But This Is All Such Ancient History, Jesus Lord. Was This Before Or After The Sting?

I Do Remember When I First Read The Script Of The 92 In The Shade. I Was In The House At Nicholas Beach, And That Gang Was Starting To Break Up, And I Read This Terribly Well-written Dialogue, Not Figuring Out That Films Are About Structure And The Thing Was Totally Unstructured, And I Thought, "who Is This Writer? God, He's Great."
