When she talks about herself nowadays, it is to tell about blowing sky high???not remembering her speech?when she presented an award at the Tony ceremonies a few months ago. Or to describe how, on the set of Stab, "I just couldn't get a scene right. The dialogue seemed false. I got madder and madder because I knew the answer lay within me, but I couldn't wrestle it up. I sulked all day?something I never did before. There's a lot of tension toward the end of a film, because the answers have to be there...
