against age considered older opposite sad women younger
I have nothing against younger women and older men on screen. What is sad is that so many women over 40 who have so much to give aren't being considered to play opposite men their own age or younger.
again age apartment avenue complex families grew late lived mostly parking small tv valet younger
I grew up in Burbank - but not the Burbank of valet parking and TV studios. In the late 1950s, there was a small apartment complex on Elmwood Avenue that rented mostly to families on welfare. I lived there from age 3 to 11 and again from 14 to 18 with my mother, Shirley, and my younger sister, Toni.
age bad certain dropped energy good people pursuing terms together understand wisdom
I understand that there's a certain energy in youth, no question, in terms of pursuing jobs. But there is wisdom in age. It's too bad that the two can't come together because I do think that people are dropped from what they're really good at too soon.
burst listening
I wasn't going to say this, but I was just listening to Rosie O'Donnell and I have to tell you, I wanted to burst into tears,
I think I was pigeonholed pretty early on. And I started late in my career. I was 33.
crappy early films
I think early in my career, I didn't choose films that were crappy films, necessarily, but I didn't go out and campaign for smaller, better roles.
I think acting is something that came natural.
I never thought I could model, and I certainly never thought about acting. It's just something that happened to me.
school
I didn't know who Avedon was. I was 18 years old. I dropped out of high school in the 10th grade. I had no idea.
father growing men raised understand women
I didn't have a father growing up, and I was raised with all women, and I didn't really understand men. I thought they were like women, right?
I always try to find some part of a character that exists in me and plug that in.
I always thought I'm kind of a tough girl.
beauty stay
Beauty and youth can stay inside, but it doesn't outside.
love restore southern
I'm a California girl, and I'd love to restore a sense of place to Southern California.
