Many years ago, I was in a Broadway show and I had to wear a fox fur around my shoulders. One day my hand touched one of the fox's legs. It seemed to be in two pieces. Then it dawned on me.... her leg had probally been snapped in two by the steel trap that had caught it.

In sitcoms, the women are so beautiful, understanding and well-bred. They have humor, but sort of display it with a twinkle of the eye and not a guffaw. But there's no juice in that for me.

I really cut my teeth on off-off-off Broadway shows.

Keep fighting for animals by making compassionate, cruelty-free choices every day and encouraging those around you to do the same.

PETA has a proven track record of success. Each victory PETA wins for the animals is a stepping stone upon which we build a more compassionate world for all beings - and we will never give up our fight until all animals are treated with respect and kindness.

All this time I've just wanted to be blonde, beautiful and 5 feet 2 inches tall.

At least I'm not playing other people for a change. It's a very odd place to be... I feel I'm an actress who sings a bit.
