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.
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.
age certain high life remember school time
I can say that when you model,when you get to a certain age, that's it for you. I remember there was a time where I was like, 'What am I going to do with my life?' I am a high school dropout who's only modeled. So there was desperation with that.
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.
thinking age naive
Maybe it's that I'm naive, but I don't think of myself as an age.
bad hard people themselves
Unfortunately, I think depression and anxiety are really hard to live with. And what people don't need is to feel bad about themselves because they decide to go on medication.
mom
My mom said my whole childhood... was stop and go.
airplane care ends friend help helped inspector lovely mom moved worked
My mom worked for Lockheed Corp. in Burbank as an inspector of airplane parts. To help make ends meet, Dee, a friend of my mom's from Lockheed, moved in. She was a lovely person and helped with our care for many years.
I think I was pigeonholed pretty early on. And I started late in my career. I was 33.
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,
best romantic
I would have loved to do romantic comedies. That's what I think I would be best at.
days five work
I work out five days a week for 20 minutes; I only do one body part a day.
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.
