”Love Can Be Murder”
The last good movie I saw was: ”Regarding Henry.” I liked the innocence.
Favorite pigout food: Hamburgers.
Favorite performer: Vivien Leigh. ”Gone With the Wind” is my favorite movie and she was magical.
Favorite childhood memory: My grandfather pulling up in front of our house in a car full of watermelons. He was a Methodist minister, and I have a clear image of him in his seersucker suit and straw hat.
Personal heroes: My parents and grandfather. They`re what the American life is about. They had morals and ethics and values, and they stood up for them. My house was such a safe and happy harbor I really had to push myself to leave.

My most irrational act: I went to the airport to fly to New York. My children were seeing me off. They were wearing shorts. I said to the nanny,
”I`m going to miss them.” She said, ”Life is short.” So I took them with me and bought them warm clothes in New York.
Behind my back, my friends say: ”She`s a little eccentric.”
When people first meet me, they think I`m: Approachable.
Three words that best describe me: Mother, actress, daughter.
