In Part 1, we talk about The Sound of Music, playing Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors, her novelist mum and vicar dad, being a princess, observing the human condition, studying with Barbara Poitier and Gene Lasko, her one weeping eye, giving fear a name, playing worried moms, having your own personal comic timing, the given circumstances, Fiona Shaw in Medea, and the subjective art of acting.
