I had read the criticisms of me and my movies and they were discerning. They said that Crawford needs a new deal, and they asked if I was doomed to explore forever the emotional misfortunes of the super-sexed modern young woman.

But I begged and begged and begged, and so they let me do it. I was totally miscast.
