I was seventeen and the star of my high school play. I was supposed to kiss my leading man, but I couldn't stand the guy. I really didn't want to kiss him. All during rehearsals, I refused to kiss him. Then my drama teacher told me, "If you don't kiss him on opening night, you'll flunk drama class. So I kissed him, and that was my first kiss.

I'm back to doing everything I used to, loving life as ever.

I also loved musicals because I was a dancer.

Early on in my career, I'd go into the makeup trailer, and they'd spend an hour doing my makeup, and I would hate it. I'd go into the bathroom, wash it off and start over again, which took an enormous amount of time. So I just started doing it myself.

I was brought up Catholic, and my family is still very religious.

I feel more comfortable in front of a camera than anywhere else.

You know, when they called me about the role, I thought Knots Landing was a show about a houseboat with Andy Griffith!
