Divorce is horrible. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I don't think it's anything that's ever completely resolved.
Being prepared helps you feel more confident at the doctor's office. Think about what you want to ask and write those questions down.
Being a model, you know, it's a short-lived vocation.
When my mother had four girls, and she could tell her marriage was falling apart, she went back to college and got her degree in music and education.
Whenever I was with her, I simply felt I was with a fellow actor,
There are lots of great actresses who are great because they'll do anything.
Here's the thing with the business, is that when people like your work, and you make them money, you're set. When the critics like you, and you make the studios money, doors opened.
I am committed to ovarian cancer research on a national level and in my community in the Carolinas. It is important to me to know the women that are true fighters of this difficult disease.
In 1984, I starred in 'Greystoke: The Legend Of Tarzan,' my first movie. My lines ended up being dubbed by Glenn Close, supposedly because my accent was 'too southern'. It was completely humiliating at the time. I became a laughing stock. I'm amazed that I managed to pick myself up and dust myself off.
In modeling, because you're the center of attention, it builds up people's egos. Sometimes people lose touch with reality. But that happens with acting, too.
I'm not a huge TV person. I don't like having the noise when I'm doing other things unless I'm really lonely, and then I turn the TV on. But I do like to sit down and watch TV in the evenings.
I mean, how many times does an actress get to play a school headmistress and then go out and have sex on top of a tombstone? Even when I see it now, I blush.
I don't pass judgment on anybody, but personally, I prefer a more natural look. I think it's helping my longevity in my career because I'm playing my age.
I live in a small town now, so beauty salons are sort of like where all the gossip ruminates where I live.
