At 15, it was her friendship with Peter and her burgeoning sexuality. At 16, when I portrayed Anne on Broadway, it was her flaws--vanity, overexcitability and quickness to fight--that interested me the most. And now, upon my most recent perusal just weeks before my 18th birthday, I am struck most strongly by her introspection, solitude...
