The last good movie I saw was: “Chantilly Lace.” My all-time favorite movie is “Cinema Paradisio.”
I stay home to watch: CNN is about it. I got out of the TV habit in college. It’s not a snob thing, it just doesn’t hold my attention.

If I weren’t an actress, I’d be: Running a Fortune 500 company. I love business.
Major accomplishment: Moving to New York from Mississippi when I was 22. I had just a couple of acquaintances from college.
