About Pierce Brosnan being more famous than she was:
"I
am not sure we used that word [jealousy]. We were sitting in the back
of a limousine waiting for a shot, and we had a long talk about our
insecurities. We acknowledged that we've both had them about each other
and we needed to talk about it. It was a good talk. He is charming and
funny to work with. He's a very good actor and I realize, in the end,
if he does marketing and he promotes himself, then it's really for my
good and we really are each other's pal. We are not in a race." (TV
Guide, June 9, 1984)
About being offered the role of Laura Holt:
"I
didn't want to do a series, any series. I didn't want to get
stereotyped in a character, and I didn't want that frantic kind of
shooting schedule. And what about quality control? What if it turned
into schlock? You can't just call in and say that you aren't crazy
about the script so you're passing on this episode. I said no thanks
and went off to South Africa with my pop.[...] Finally, one morning I
got up about five thirty and read it [the script of the pilot] through.
When I was done, I remember thinking that in a couple of years I could
be fighting to be window dressing in a panty-hose ad or atmosphere in a
dog-food commercial. I called my agent and said we'd better talk." (McCall's, August 1983)
About playing a sophisticated couple with Pierce Brosnan:
"The
production people kept saying we were supposed to be a sophisticated
couple like Myrna Loy and William Powell, and they'd show us scenes
from The Thin Man. Pierce and I were freckle-faced kids. And very
nervous. We used to go across the street to a little pub and sit and
wonder just what we'd gotten ourselves into." (McCall's, August 1983)
