When they make a womans picture, they treat it like a womans pictu

When they make a womans picture, they treat it like a womans picture. In the 40s, they didnt treat Joan Crawford movies like that, but as the big movies of their year. Im upset that theres no Terminator with a woman in Arnold Schwarzeneggers role. Because that would make just as much money. – Ellen Barkin

But one of the hardest things for me to do was to access anger. I could do it on stage. But when I did it on film it was hard for me. That probably has to do with the intimacy of film. And my own personal issues with expressing anger. So I had to learn how to do that. – Ellen Barkin
