For most of my career, I've played roles that were written for other actresses.

My only friends were boys, and I was just one more of them.

The actress they'd hired had refused to appear naked in front of the camera. I didn't like to appear naked either, but the first thing I did was take off my clothes and jump into the pool completely naked.

I chose the most explosive dress I could find. I put a ton of makeup on and some great round earrings. I looked like Jennifer Jones in Duel in the Sun.

I didn't go to school a lot.

When I said I was going to audition for a film, I got a hearty laugh from all my family.
