Personal Quote:
[on John Cassavetes] We had a great deal of freedom when John acted. We traveled a lot and it was fun. But with directing ... really. I think people don't have all their marbles who prefer directing to acting because you write for three months, you cut for maybe six months. He's the most terrifying perfectionist about what he wants. As an artist, I love him. As a husband, I hate him. See more »Trivia:
She played the sister of her real life husband John Cassavetes in Love Streams (1984). See more »Star Sign:
