It was like she's known me for years, and that's how she embraced everything. That's, just a complete stranger coming to my trailer and an actress I looked up to, writing me a three-page letter about how grateful she was that I was there. I just felt she touched me in such a way that I've never experienced. What you saw in that documentary, you got a sense of her light, the beacon that she is. Honestly, there's not one ill word you can speak about the girl. That was tough, because so many of her very good friends, day in and day out friends, didn't want to be in it. What made you want to become part of this? The things that you say about her in this film are just so lovely. I wanted to ask you about that and about participating in it, because she is having this rediscovery now so many years after her death.

It's an interesting question, because I tell people I love this role because of that. I was wondering how much of that experience of being in the family business did you bring to this role?
