Occupation: Actress.

Birthday: Dec. 1, 1960.

Birthplace: Flushing, Queens, New York.

Current home: An airplane. I have a house in Connecticut, a cabin in Canada, an apartment in Los Angeles, a house in upstate New York, and I usually work in Europe.

Marital status: Married for eight years to Ron Greschner.

Cars: A Jeep and a `66 red Mustang convertible my husband gave me for Christmas.

Working on: Making a movie with George Segal. It`s called ”A Bear Called Arthur.”

I stay home to watch: Videos of actors whose work I like. I study them. I`ve been watching James Woods lately.

The book I`ve been reading is: ”Respect for Acting,” by Uta Hagen.

Prized possession: My pillow. I`ve had it ever since I can remember.

Every New Year`s I resolve: To stop drinking Scotch with my coffee every morning. It`s because I travel like crazy, and my body isn`t on any particular time.

I`ve never been able to: That doesn`t apply to me. Whatever I want to do, I give it a try.

The worst part of acting is: Getting work. Once I have the job, I know what I can do in front of the camera. But people think of me as a model even though I`ve done 15 films.

My fantasy is: I`m driving formula cars. It might come true. Danny Sullivan invited me to drive in his celebrity race.

I knew I was a grownup when: Some little kid referred to me as ”that lady.”

My most irrational act: Quitting modeling six years ago to act.

Nobody would believe it if they saw me: Drive, cook, act, sing. Nobody believes a model can do anything.

The best time of my life: My first year of college. I could be whoever I wanted to be, and I took advantage of that.

The worst time of my life: High school.

My most humbling experience: It was at the John Casablancas ”Look of the Year” contest in front of 3 million people. I was wearing this tiny little dress, and as I was walking across the stage, I slipped. Things like that happen to me all the time.
