I loved playing Anne Bancroft, because she was so wonderfully arch.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My favorite actresses were Geraldine Paige, Anne Bancroft and Kim Stanley.
I enjoyed playing someone who is a professional, intelligent, defined by her work and not her role as a wife or mother.
I've always wanted to play 'Lady Macbeth' and Strindberg's 'Miss Julie'.
I loved playing the part of the feisty Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker.
I loved doing Shakespeare. My two favorite roles, in fact, have been Viola in Twelfth Night and Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
I had been very close to Anne Bancroft when we worked together in The Miracle Worker.
I loved Julia Louis-Dreyfus's show 'The New Adventures of Old Christine.' That made me laugh out loud. She's like Lucille Ball. She's brilliant.
Anne Boleyn is certainly the most exciting character I have played on stage.
I loved working with Jamie Lee Curtis, and I felt she was a wonderful actress even that early in her career.
I loved Ingrid Bergman. I sat and saw her on the stage in a theater in the round.
