HF: I was an actor. I would never impose that on an actor. I don’t believe in that. Let me give you an example: Bountiful, which I’ve now seen three extraordinary actresses do—Lillian Gish, Geraldine Page, and Ellen Burstyn. You can’t find three more different actresses. They’re each wonderful in the same part. It’s like three virtuoso violinists playing the same concerto. They have to bring what they can to it. You would just be stultifying them if you said, “This is how it has to be done.” That’s a mistake many writers make. How do they know how the actor sees it?
