Famous Quotes:

I liked him very much. He had a lot of dry humour. Contrary to what people think – they have this image of Stanley as this difficult ogre – he wasn’t at all. He was a perfectionist but every great director I’ve worked with has been a perfectionist. You have to be to make extraordinary films.

She appeared in numerous fashion layouts in Vogue in the early 1970s and her sister Berry was a Photographer for the magazine as well.
