aspects career experience good legal move opportunity
It's just a good career move for me, an opportunity to experience other aspects of the legal profession,
real fall opportunity
Once in a while a good opportunity would come along, like the first 'Playhouse 90 ever to air - working in television afforded me my best opportunities. The (film) industry was going through such turmoil at the time - studios didn't know where to go anymore, they were falling apart, television was there. They didn't know what kind of films people wanted. The European films were making a huge impact because those films wanted real people in real situations.
kid thrown
I wasn't an actor. They they take the externals. Here I was, a kid thrown into Hollywood with a brand-new name, starring in motion pictures.

I turned into a workaholic to the point of where my health was in jeopardy.
single-mom thinking people
All the things that happen to people in the industry today, the actors, what they have to put up with, all the people wanting to know every single moment of their lives - I think it's really sad.
humor rocks guy
Rock Hudson wasn't my type. He's a great guy and had a great sense of humor.

I knew Jimmy Dean. He tested for 'Battle Cry'. Paul Newman tested for 'Battle Cry'. I did nine tests to finally get that role.

wall water off-the-wall
I'd work for John Waters again, because he's so off the wall.
years two three
A lot has been written about Tony Perkins and myself and I figured, Let's get it straight. I had a relationship with Tony for two to three years, but those are only threads in the tapestry of my whole life.
people training important
The people that really were important, that mattered, had a great foundation. I had no training. I had to learn while doing, and it was really difficult.
divorce men people
I was a major fan of people in the industry, I was a major movie fan and I was just thrown into it. I was never a gregarious kind of a young man. I was very frightened. It was difficult to divorce myself from myself.
