And because I had been on the squad in high school, earnest full-throated cheerleading was my specialty so that's what I did. But now, I feel like I know about 1/16 of what that young woman knew.

Often men my age, President Clinton, by the way, when I met him said–Men my age, mention that character as their favorite of all the women I've played.

励志演讲 :让父母为你骄傲(7)

Empathy is at the heart of the actor's art. And in high school, another form of acting took hold of me. I wanted to learn how to be appealing. So I studied the character I imagined I wanted to be that of the generically pretty high school girl and I researched her deeply, that is to say shallowly, in Vogue, in Seventeen, and in Mademoiselle Magazines.

I got to Vassar which 43 years ago was a single-sex institution, like all the colleges in what they call the Seven Sisters, the female Ivy League and I made some very quick but lifelong and challenging friends.
