Quotes
[interviewed in 1970]: In the not too distant past, we had Doris Day's virginity to worry about. Recently, we've had the sex-crazed Mrs. Robinson. Both extremes are dishonest. Both deny any humanity to the women characters. The changes are really coming about now in the attitudes of our society. Characters who are recognizable women are just beginning to appear in scripts.
