If I’m playing a real-life person, I would take notes, I think that’s important. For instance, when I played Rosemary Clooney, I was lucky enough to meet her; thankfully, she was still with us. And I talked with her and read her book, so when it’s a real person, I want to find out everything I can. Sondra Locke Read Quote

My starring in films with Clint didn’t make me toast of the town. I became his appendage. Everything I did was in his shadow. Sondra Locke Read Quote
I’m not going to deny that knowing someone in high places can sometimes get the job done. That’s the name of the game. A son or daughter of someone famous will get a break. But once they’re in there, they’re on their own. Sondra Locke Read Quote
