The book and the movie are both
about relationships. Do you think that there is a sisterhood in Hollywood? |
|
I think there is
somewhat of a network for women. There are some organizations for women in
film that particularly support women working in the film industry. I have
many, many friends in Hollywood –women friends- that are good support. I came
with a group of friends here tonight –my own Ya-Yas. |
|
What defines a Ya-YA for you? |
|
Women friends,
somebody that you talk to. That’s what Ya-Ya means, it means talking,
somebody you really talk to. |

Ashley Judd plays a younger version of you character
in this film. Who would you like to see play you if they made a movie version
of your life? |
|
Oh my God, I don’t
know. I’m writing my memories right now and I keep getting asked that
question about who would play me. It’s such a scary idea that I have no idea
what the answer is. |
|
|
|
What do you think the story/film is really about? |
|
It’s really how
important it is to really communicate with someone you love, and to honor
them. |
