I think in Mrs. C, I certainly played myself. A very compulsive, sweet person.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I enjoyed playing someone who is a professional, intelligent, defined by her work and not her role as a wife or mother.
Apart from that Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?
I've always wanted to play 'Lady Macbeth' and Strindberg's 'Miss Julie'.
It was my first straight dramatic role, and the most adult, intelligent one I have ever played.
I think I was always a drama queen. I really, really, really loved playing pretend.
At first I was always cast as the girlfriend. It was a long time before I got to play characters who were people.
I loved playing Anne Bancroft, because she was so wonderfully arch.
I played comedies and dramas.
I certainly have played women who have a pioneer spirit and longing for adventure.
I played a real nasty little girl but most of the roles I had up until then were very sweet and very nice.
