I think there was this vicarious thrill for her is that she wanted me to be all the things that she couldn't be, which is she wanted me to be respected.
She didn't want me to be objectified.
She wanted me to have a long career, not a short one.
She didn't want me to play somebody's just sister, mother, daughter.
She wanted me to be central character.
because she grew up in a pre-feminist time where she didn't have any of those opportunities.
So it worked out for me.
Well...
Because I don't really remember ever starting, the things I loved was I loved being in a community that felt like a family.
And honestly, mostly those were brothers and fathers because there really weren't any women around.
So I liked being the surrogate daughter to all these guys who taught me how lenses worked and they taught me how to –
how to load the film into the camera.
And they, you know, they would give me marks and they would say, you know, you have to turn on this line.
And so I had, I loved the family of making movies.
The actual work of being an actor, I had no interest in.
And in fact, I just thought it was kind of a dumb job.
And that got supported because my mother would say, hey, your career is going to be over when you're 18.
So what are you going to do after that?
Um, she wasn't wrong.
That's pretty much the way it usually works.
