I had three influential teachers. The first was Uta Hagen. The second two, Bobby Lewis and my late husband, Charles Kakatsakis, were both from the Actors Studio.
I was taught by teachers, and if it's one thing I have it's a basketball mind and I try to pass it on and pay it forward.
I'm dyslexic, although they didn't have a word for it when I was in grade school. The teachers said I had 'word blindness.'
