Until Genevieve I had tended towards the more dramatic type of role.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
While making Genevieve, I learned there could be a lot more to a film than just acting in it.
So I regard my part in Genevieve as a real challenge.
For most of my career, I've played roles that were written for other actresses.
For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?
I know at some point I would like to take on more dramatic roles.
I've been a character actress right from the beginning. I was no more like 'Cinderella' in my real life than I was like the neurotic poet in 'Cop.'
It was my first straight dramatic role, and the most adult, intelligent one I have ever played.
I loved playing a dramatic role. There's a side of me a lot of people don't know, and when I do dramatic roles, it just all comes out.
As an actress I take roles I find interesting.
A film like Genevieve to my contemporaries is not a film made years ago, but last week or last year. They see me as I was then, not as I am now.
