I think, perhaps, this is a blessing in disguise, in terms of I certainly think they thought the show could go on. They wanted to take what they were paying me and put it into another character, maybe create a new feel for the show which just ended up not working. You know, they swept my character out and it was really kind of the same dynamic as Stana. You know, it’s interesting because Falcon Crest ended up going nine seasons and the last season was just a disaster. I actually thought, G ee, I’m going to be wrong, it’s going to go nine. You said that Castle would last 8 seasons and you were right. You might be psychic because you called it. So this is like a little, cozy, Hobbit house and it’s very much in keeping with the feel of New Hope which is quite charming. I’m in an apartment with a view of the East River in New York. You know, I’m in a very modern house in L.A. I’m in this tiny cottage where I’ve already hit my head 32 times on the slanted ceilings. I know that you spend lots of time in NY and lots of time in LA, what do you think of New Hope, Pennsylvania? It wasn’t even so much the part but when i read the play I thought, Oh, I like this character. It just all seemed like one of those synchronistic moments in time and in your life. And I liked the idea of working with Jessica Walter, so it was for more the crowd, and I knew Bobby Harling, the writer from years ago. Well, I was really attracted by Marsha Mason as the director who I knew, but had not worked with as a director. What attracted you to taking the role of Clairee in Steel Magnolias? People tend to enjoy it, have a good time, so it’s very pleasant to be a part of that circle between the actors and the audience. It’s what we in the business call a crowd pleaser. I was able to see your play, Steel Magnolias, a couple of weeks ago and it was lovely.
