I was at the end of the studio system so when I walked into movies, I had a magnificent suite in which I had a living room and a kitchen and a complete makeup room. I had everything just for me. With the independents, you’re kind of roughing it, literally.
I could really use a corporate sponsor. People think that because you’re in the movies, you’re rich. I have allocated all my resources to Shambala so the animals will always be safe.
So I do have to work, you know, and I find as many movies and TV shows that I can, because otherwise I wouldn’t have an income.
So I think it is common knowledge that Hitchcock had fantasies or whatever you want to call them about his leading ladies.
Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field of suspense.
One lion thinks it’s just hilarious to tackle us. He’s very funny about it… and we always know when it will happen.
Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny, but working with him, I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre, he could be a very funny man to work with, always telling jokes and holding court. Of course, when I worked with Charlie he was getting older.
Honest to God, all my life I have had such a fear of spiders. In fact, I use to have a reoccurring dream about one. Very clearly, it was black with a red head. It would sit up in the corner of the bedroom and when it started getting closer, I would wake up in a panic.
I use every single thing that Alfred Hitchcock taught me in my acting career… I am very grateful for the education he gave me in making motion pictures.
