I`m an actress, not a personality. It`s more successful to be a personality. But can you use it in every role? I don`t spill over into everything I do. I do what I do from inside someone else`s skin.
"The Razor`s Edge" contained my only great performance. When we shot that hospital scene in which Sophie loses her husband, child and everything else, I relived the death of my brother, whom I adored and who died at three. It gives me chills right now to think of it.
I patterned Eve [Harrington] after the understudy I had in a Broadway play when I was 13. She actually threatened to finish me off. She was the bitchiest person I ever saw.
