Personal Quote:

[why she turned down Terminator 3] They offered me a part. I read it and knew my character arc was so complete after the first two, but in the third one it was negligible. She died halfway through and there was no time to mourn her. It was all so disposable so I said no thankyou. See more »

Trivia:

Good friends with former Beauty and the Beast co-star Ron Perlman. They reunited in the theater play Love Letters (1990), and in the post-Vietnam war drama Missing in America. See more »
