I thought I’d seen them all; being in the business I’d seen so many models and actresses. But I’d never seen anyone with that tone of voice, that kindness, that real softness. If she saw a dead dog in the road, she’d cry. She was so supersensitive you had to watch your  tone of voice all the time. Later I was to find out that she was schizoid - that she could be absolutely brilliant or absolutely kind, then, the total opposite.
