    • Quotes
      [on Return to Eden (1986)'s sexy reputation] We all loathed it. It was lots of suspender belts and we felt we were being exploited and we didn't enjoy it. It got so ridiculous, especially with my character, that we all complained. It was just titillating and I object to that It's just silly. It would be more honest for us to have done nude scenes than to run around in a pair of lace knickers. Maybe they thought that sex and naughtiness would sell 'Return to Eden,' but I think it's quite tedious.
