I was obsessed with Marilyn Monroe and also at 18 I had met Shelley Winters who took me under her wing, adopted me.
How much time do I have? So that helped me because playing men for years and years and years you develop a tremendous projection on stage.
Roger Corman wanted me to direct his films.
She was a well-known British actor.
Nevertheless, roles like In the Heat of Passion was a very unusual choice for any Oscar-nominated actress to do and made Sally very unique.
Shelley Winters, Lainie Kazan, all my friends.
