Do you believe this? So suddenly now I’m playing Kay Adams-Corleone. I kept hearing Francis [Ford Coppola] was really upset because the producers didn’t want this [Al] Pacino guy. They didn’t want [him] at all. And so Francis, for instance, said why don’t you come and let’s have him do a scene with you? I’ve already been cast.

But they couldn’t tell that he was great, and that Francis had me stand there and be the wife. So those kind [of] stories are [just] — wow. The fact that I would be cast and had never even read The Godfather is so weird.”
