I would love to re-visit Darla. I miss her. I really do.

I would have loved to paint Eartha Kitt, but she's no longer here. I'm so glad I had the chance to meet her.

It was a very emotional dinner... Everyone shared personal stories about her and gave her words of encouragement and inspiration. Everyone tried to remain positive.

The second host that I had was an actress I didn't know named Susan St. James.

Bette Davis was a close friend. She loved to have a good time.

To play June, I had an immediate connect with her background and culture. We grew up with the same religion and shared a lot of the same values of family and spirituality. But I was really so inspired by what a modern woman she was.

Julie Christie, I used to hang out with her. She was friends with Richard Pryor and Warren Beatty and all of them. There was a club in Beverly Hills called the Candy Store, a private club. I used to hang out with them all.

I was pretty taken with Patti Smith, she was my heroine.

The cast called her Lucy, but everyone else called her Mrs. Ball. She was honest with people. If she liked you, you knew it. If she didn't, you knew it, also.
