Sometimes actresses just refuse to change their hair. I recently worked with an actor who refused to grow a beard although his character demanded it and he was getting a nice bit of change for his performance. My best pal, an actor, wouldn’t cut his longish hair for a play I actually wrote for him!
Luckily, in all other ways, Melinda Dillon is charming.
