Once I Fix What Kids Watch, I'll

I Had A Pretty Poor Self-image For A Long Time. I Broke Into Acting As A Model In New York. I Was Never Anything Like A "supermodel," But I Made A Living At It For A Couple Years. The Thing Was, I Was Convinced That I Was Tricking Everyone Into Thinking I Was Attractive.

I'm Very Competitive, I Think.

When It Came Time For College, I Told My Parents I Was Going To Major In Acting. And They Were So Removed From Anything To Do With Show Business - My Dad Built Our House And My Mom Grew Our Food.

There Were So Many Women Who Had Worked Throughout The War In Every Possible Job. They Were Told, "now Leave, So The Men Can Come In" And There Was This Whole Feminizing Of Women: You Have To Be Very, Very Retiring And Submissive And Whatever.

When My Friends And I Would Act Out Movies As Kids, We'd Play The Guys' Roles, Since They Had The Most Interesting Things To Do. Decades Later, I Can Hardly Believe My Sons And Daughter Are Seeing Many Of The Same Limited Choices In Current Films.
