| Quotes: |
(On working with Debra Winger in Urban Cowboy) The chemistry was instant. We were truly friends in the movie, always hanging out when we weren't shooting, going and getting lunch for everyone, playing on the bull. Betty and I taught her the stunts she did on the bull. We were doing all of the tricks and more in the club to make a little pocket money. (Interview with Cult Film Freak, 2019) |
