# | Quote |
---|---|
1 | [on Sharon Gless, who was a young, unfamiliar actress, prior to signing up with Universal]: Sharon was touted as 'The New Talented Miss Thing.' You know the saying, 'You Light Up a Room,' her eyes twinkle, Sharon's eyes twinkle. |
2 | [Differentiating between Knots Landing (1979) and Desperate Housewives (2004)]: The Teri Hatcher character, ("Susan Mayer"), who is the moral center, if you will, that would be like a "Karen" , my character. Then, there's the bad girl, Nicollette Sheridan, ("Edie Britt"), who is much like Donna Mills. |
3 | The first audition I ever went on, I was accompanied by my mother at the instruction of my father. "You have to learn how to take rejection if you really want to be an actor", he said. He had to eat his own words. I got the job. |
4 | I was known as the entertainer, that's where I got my identity. |
5 | I love doing things that may not be everybody else's cup of tea. |
# | Fact |
---|---|
1 | Originally, Knots Landing (1979) was intended to be a soap opera vehicle for both her and Don Murray, from the beginning, who (Murray) also wanted the show to pay him more money that before, but they rejected him, therefore, he left at the beginning of the show's third season.

4 | Along with David Jacobs's and Michael Filerman's, it was her call for Donna Mills to audition for a role on Knots Landing (1979), when the show was nearly canceled after low ratings, for the first season.
