Personal Quote:
Interestingly, the actress who, in her own persona, may be gentle, shy and socially awkward, someone whose hand trembles when pouring a cup of tea for a visiting friend, can convincingly portray an elegant, cruel aristocrat tossing off malicious epigrams in an 18th-century chocolate house. See more »Trivia:
He met Andre Gregory, his co-star in My Dinner with Andre (1981), by arranging to attend every performance of Gregory's New York staging of "Alice in Wonderland" in 1970--a run which lasted for a year. The two have been friends and occasional collaborators ever since. See more »Trademark:
Very elfin looks, enough to make Woody Allen look almost like a conventional leading man in Manhattan (1979) See more »Nickname:
