In Mary’s words…

Oh, yeah. Garbo Talks. I played Lady Capulet in the park, right? Actually, all I remember was… I mean, how great was that headpiece? [Laughs.] The costume was so amazing! And the other thing I remember from it was that the makeup artist had worked with Jane Fonda for years, and he was doing my makeup, and he said, “You know, with your facial structure, you could play Jane Fonda’s little sister.” And I just took that away. That was all I needed! Isn’t that funny? [from “Mary McDonnell on Battlestar Galactica and going mute in front of Robert Redford by Will Harris]
