I was a lusty kid who loved Tennessee Williams.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Tennessee Williams was so adept at portraying characters who are both fallible and vulnerable. Women were a huge influence in his life, his mother and sister in particular.
I'm very fond of Tennessee Williams' plays, and when my husband and I went to New Orleans in the late 1970s, we saw 'A Street Car Named Desire.'
I've always had an affinity for writers who have a poetry background, so I always liked Tennessee Williams.
I've always loved Don Cheadle and Jeffery Wright and even Sam Jackson.
And, I'd never done Tennessee Williams, and I had done Broadway musicals, so it was a challenge.
Magic Johnson was my favorite player growing up.
I was obsessed with Elvis Presley when I was little.
I loved Steve Martin when I was younger, in the '70s.
I left home when I was 17 with Joe Williams.
I was the kid that grew up watching Bette Davis films.
