Most of my life I didn't feel very normal. There's definitely been some moments where I feel like, all right, I've finally graduated and I'm a normal lady. ↗
I graduated from high school in '62 and I didn't know any people who were gay. I'm sure there were people, but I didn't know any. For years and years, I guess, I was very uptight about being a gay actor. I thought it would make me less hirable. ↗
In 1969, when I graduated from Harvard Law School, women and minorities made up a tiny fraction of the first year associates accepted by top law firms. ↗
I went to night school and summer school, I made that whole year up and I actually graduated on time. Also, I got a part-time job at the radio station. ↗
When I graduated college I needed to make money while I was pursuing acting, so I read screenplays and made a living writing coverage on them for studios. ↗
