I don\u2019t know. It doesn\u2019t seem easy to get things made anymore.

I [had] extraordinary opportunities working with great artists,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd the actors I was working with! Dustin [Hoffman]<\/a> and Kim [Stanley] and Jack [Nicholson]<\/a>. We got to throw [Martin] Scorsese<\/a> in there, too.
