    • Quotes
      [on Doctor Zhivago (1965)] Although I went all over the world promoting it, I'd never got to see more than the credits before being whisked away. Finally, at Cannes, I was to sit through the whole thing. When I appeared for the first time, I fainted from the shock - and woke up in the ladies room.
    • Trademarks
        Quite unlike her father, her performances have usually been serious, intense and brooding
