And she shared with me later, which I wasn’t conscious of, that she was so scared each day. But I by no means felt that from her. She appeared as cool as a cucumber, however she was soaking every little thing in and every little thing that I’d say or [producer[ John DeLuca would say. She absorbed so quickly and would just do it, but she did it with taste.”
He continued, “You know, that was that’s what’s interesting. She understood camera and film immediately, and I thought that was sort of natural. You could see she’s natural on camera, truthful. But there’s something, you know, they say the camera loves you or, you know… the camera loves Halle. They it’s just there’s something about her. And so I was so excited to actually watch her grow into a film star as we were working. It was really exciting.”
