Like Chelsea, I had to get over the desperate need I once had for his approval, and to conquer my fear of him. We've never been intimate...
...Jane goes through more crap to act," Fonda says, "instead of just doing it. I don't believe you study acting. You feel it, know it, play it." When Jane and Dabney Coleman, who played Chelsea's beau, would take time to discuss motivation, Kate and Hank would have giggle fits.
