[on her character "Nova" in
वानर के ग्रह (1968)] I felt very intuitive that my particular personality and nature were
like Nova. Automatically, I'd say that's about 80% of the part. The
director, the producer and the writer talked with me about her, and
they described her as "sub-human." We hadn't really had an actress play
"sub-human" before. Nova's not like
Raquel Welch's character
in
One Million Years B.C. (1966). She was more primitive because
of the apes' suppression. We played it by ear and experimented. It was
really a moment-to-moment thing.
