You have to be smart to play a dumb blonde over and over again and keep the audience's attention without extraordinary physical equipment.

In repose, my face looks as though I had gone through a terrible deal in the last five minutes. I have to disguise the expression and get a glassy-eyed look. That's something I learned from my dog.
