In the script, Karen walked into someone’s home unannounced and told her stepdaughter to leave. They said, “Have you ever seen Dallas?” So I watched it, and I went, “Oh, OK. I understand.” I was really unsure, and I didn’t think of it as a soap opera, because initially it was self-contained stories about couples in a cul-de-sac. It became a soap in...
We were very proud of what we were doing, and I was very proud to have directed and put my stamp on the show that I loved so. Near the end, they asked actors only to be on X amount of shows to save money. I told them I wanted to be on every show, and if it came down to it, I’d do it for nothing.
My favorite was when Val’s twins were taken from her, and Donna Mills was always fun to watch. And Karen had a drug addiction story at the same time Betty Ford had announced hers. I was skeptical about it, and then I became proud. I put together a short about Karen’s disease that was distributed to schools and addiction centers, and Betty Ford call...
My father was a makeup artist on Rawhide with Clint Eastwood. The few times I’ve seen him at parties, he calls out to me: “Dusick!” And my dad did Dr. Kildare with Richard Chamberlain, one of the nicest men I’ve met in this business. I did have a crush on him, but they started doing publicity pictures with him and me as the “teenage girl” he’s dati...
When I was 16, I sang with a band at weddings, bar mitzvahs. There was an ad for singers who act, and my dad said, “You have to have thick skin. You’ll be turned down constantly.” So my mother took me to my first audition for a review, Vintage ’60. The producers stood on their feet, and my father had to eat his makeup sponge! Every night we had sta...
I did not want to be an actress. I wanted to be a performer, to sing. And then as people were hiring me, it was like, “Holy s–t. I have to act now?” If I was older, I’d have been one of those MGM musical stars.
Before I went to Broadway, the first thing I filmed was The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. We were wearing bras that had points, and I sounded like Minnie Mouse! I did How to Succeed on Broadway, then the movie [version], then The Love Bug, because I knew how to drive a stick shift! [Laughs] I found out I was pregnant when I was doing it. I did The Co...
I think it changed me inside and out. It changed the way I would choose things, how long I could go away for, and when I could take my son with me.
That if you’re married a long time and they don’t do you in, and you can’t live with them, what a joy it is to keep the relationship. I kept one with Jim until the day he died. I was there when he passed away, with his wife, because Jim and I never called each other exes. We called each other “my former.” He’d say, “Hi, Former!” And I fell in love ...
I’m working on a short documentary I can’t talk about. The three of us Knots Landinggirls have been asked to go to theaters and do interview shows with clips, and we more than like each other.
