“She came in to help me with press and translation during the filming ofAct of Love.
She’s sure to approve of my taste and my ability to get a last-minute reservation.
Once again, she turned me down.

He said, “I don’t know why Anne stuck with me through those early decades.
If anyone I worked with is still alive, they will attest that I wasn’t Mr.
I had a lot of anger matched by a lot of arrogance.

Everyone loved her, including my first wife and my two eldest sons, Michael and Joel.”
