...Child (Penguin Press). "Having been built in the fashion I was as a child - created and then deflated - has left me with a distinct feeling of failure." Quart is unflinchingly honest about her unusual childhood experience. "My father would have bristled at the notion that he was an overbearing puppet master. If I sat absolutely quietly and wrote lyrical verse about tree-tops, I was peachy. My father was hell-bent on bettering my lot - and by extension our family's lot."

"I did a lot of puppet acting, jobs where I did whatever the director said," Black says of unmemorable stints in such films as Waterworld and The Jackal. He hates confrontation, and he's not arrogant enough to have ever told a director he thought he was being misused, but he did find that movies were...
