The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

Mm.

And, uh, they went and saw her on Broadway in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," and they just, like, totally fell in love with her.

Yeah.

Um, yeah, so, and so, you know, but it was, it was, you know, Frank saw right away in her, like, that, wow, this is someone completely special, right? So she's got this extremely, uh, unique look about her, and she's just, she, I mean, it, she embodies, um, the inspiration for the character, right, which was Eleanor Perry herself.

Right.

So, well, when I was in drama school, I got a job... sort of early doors because they were doing a show called The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and the cast was just all schoolgirls.

So I was pretty lucky in the fact that, I mean, my God, it was like a massive, you know, but loads of schoolgirls.

So I just got put in that straight away.

And I remember telling my friends at school that I'd been in a movie, but, you know, they didn't care.

at that time when i was young and then uh you know when i got into high school i i continued i went to acting classes and i actually did do one other play with my dad in 1971 he did um he played uh What's his name? Louther in The Prime and Miss Jean Brody.

And in El Paso.

And the director of that had somehow got Julie Adams, the actress Julie Adams, to come out as a special celebrity to play Jean Brody.

And I got to be one of the schoolgirls.

What's really cool about that is I went to the Living Dead convention in Portland.
