He was a great actor.

Well, how did you figure out how to play Frau Brücher?

Brücher.

I didn't know.

I had a wonderful hairdo by Mary, the head of the hair department, and a 20th and a wonderful costume.

They made it fit me perfectly, and it was wonderfully designed.

And that's all I knew, and I was made up.

Now I go on the set, and I don't have any idea how to be Frau Brücher or have any German accent.

I'd never done one before.

So all the time when they were shooting, I kept saying, Do you know a German accent?

Hello, excuse me.

To everybody.

And about three people there thought they maybe they didn't know for sure they tried.

And I think one of them was Melbrook's mother.

I think she helped me the most.

I don't know anything.

When I first came out the door and I say, I am Frau Blocher.

And I think it said with such measurement, I was so careful to try to do it right.
