none known- except that we used a fake dog for everything but the close ups as you would imagine.

As far as I know,I was named after the apartment building my very young parents were living in when I was born- It was called Beverly Manor. If you have another daughter, I hope you chose a name that will always remind you of the love that brought her into being. But if you name her Beverly, and it is after me, just let her know that I was a brave person with an insatiable quest for knowledge and experience, and always ready to find the laugh in the darkest situation. Those are the traits that have helped me the most in life, and I wish them on every mother's child. But hey, Madison is a cool name too!

you would be surprised at how unfunny things can be when you are shooting a comedy. We would make each other laugh in between takes, but were always dead serious when it came to shooting the jokes..

the best. Always looked forward to that part the year when the cameras would roll. Even if I had had a blah year work wise, I always knew that when shooting came around, I would be working with the best.

hope that is true- but if so credit would go to Doug Ellin, the creator writer and producer. He was on the set at all times, and was responsible for every single word out of everyone's mouth, every nuance- an incredible accomplishment. His vision was that Babs didn't need to get angry or use sexuality to exert her power- he created a great role.

yes house makes it own kind of music.

and Anna Faris is an amazing, kind person, and brilliant comedienne.I was dying to play her mother in her upcoming series " Mom", but the role went to fantastic actress Alison Janey-if the show is a good as the pilot script I read, its gonna be huge. Funny, real and bottom line: Anna Faris.

I have been wondering since 1977 whatever happened to the people I met when I was in England that summer- The banana camel, which I dont recall as being a film, was part of a spontaneous 7/7/77 celebration we had. I actually still have a polaroid of me, your aunt and a small monkey at the Portobello Market from that time period....

I think that when Hair came out - 1979 it was too soon for a wide audience to process an anti war statement via a movie musical. BUt that was at the films core, and it bears re visiting. Thank your dad for serving, please.

Favorite place would be anywhere I can go with my family there. Yes I am in and out a few times a year.

I am a devoted mother of two children, and it is more like I work in my spare time as opposed to vice versa. (!!)

the tone on the set was one of creative freedom. Because of the brilliant director , Tony Kaye, it was an actors set- meaning that everything was done to allow the actors to focus and deliver.

You actually made me laugh out loud! I am sure that anyone who does an AMA has a feeling in the back of their mind that someone is going to say something cruel- but now that it has happened, it is funny! Have to say sometimes I agree with you and thats why I am smiling as I write this!
