...sheltered, studious Los Angeles tomboy, diminutive (5 ft.) Jodie had little empathy for the role. Her previous parts in movies and TV, notably Becky Thatcher in Tom Sawyer, had been more conventional. "For me it was just a part," says Jodie. "I never feel like the people I'm playing."

Both like to be photographed in yachting hats at the helm of a boat.
