Personal Quote:

[on working with Bette Davis on the TV movie Strangers: The Story of a Mother and Daughter] When they offered that part opposite her, I didn't want to do it. I thought, what if all my illusions were broken? But I couldn't resist the temptation. She's no pussycat -- she's just a great and independent artist and I loved every minute working with her.
