The best time I ever had with Joan Crawford was when I pushed her down the stairs in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Joan Crawford that I've heard about in 'Mommie Dearest' is not the Joan Crawford I knew back when.
I fell in love with Crawford because when she was twenty or twenty five, she would dance and talk and sing and do the things that Peppy's character needs to do.
I connected very much with all the work of Joan Crawford because she started as a flapper. She used to dance and sing and she was very cute. She had something that was so different from what she is at the end of her life and she started in the silent movies and then went into the talkies.
I was pretty taken with Patti Smith, she was my heroine.
When I saw 'Talk to Her' for the first time, I was crying out loud because I couldn't imagine that I was doing that film.
Joan Crawford is a movie queen. I had never met one before. I know now what I don't want to be.
Man, I was drowning in sadness. And Angelina, she lifted me right up out of there.
'Chasing Amy' was an amazing role, but then after that, I went and did 'Big Daddy' and you're the girlfriend or you're the best friend. I wasn't getting the Nicole Kidman roles.
I loved working with Jamie Lee Curtis, and I felt she was a wonderful actress even that early in her career.
Jessica Lange was my biggest crush when I was a kid.
