I told them I belong to the same organizations and clubs Mrs. Roosevelt belongs to, but with a few brave exceptions, I was still unable to do films or television for the next seven years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was class president, on the cheerleading squad, in a competitive show choir, and in, like, six different clubs.
I was on the state board of directors of the American Civil Liberties Union.
I have been an outsider in journalism and in the academy, because I never fully belonged to any of them.
I met a congressman who claimed that he could introduce me to two people who saw Amelia Earhart.
My recurring nightmare is that someday I will be faced with a panel: Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson all of whom will be telling me everything I got wrong about them. I know that Johnson's out there saying, 'Why is it that what you wrote about the Kennedys is twice as long as the book you wrote about me?'
I also served on many government committees.
I'm a journalist, and I'm a filmmaker. I have an organization that's all about telling stories.
I had great teachers, great ensembles, and great companies to work with who supported my career.
I was in every club and extra-curricular activity at high school, and I was in the National Honor Society.
I was president of the schools in junior high and high school, got a scholarship to New York University, played a little basketball, and was a celebrity.
