Personal Quote:

[Speaking about her 1978 role as Lily Langtry] She exploited everything and everyone, but she still managed to maintain their respect. I don't know if I would have gone to bed with a man to get what I wanted, even if I had been born in her era, when women had so little freedom. But I can think of worse things people have done to succeed. See more »
