Memorable Quotes

"THE LOVE BOAT was fun. The one I remember doing — I did two of them — was when they did a real cruise. They flew me down to San Juan, Puerto Rico. We all hopped on a boat and took two weeks to get back to Los Angeles. So, as far as I was concerned, that was a pretty good job. Don't remember anything about the show, but the cruise was nice."— www.soapoperaweekly.com

"The first time I ever met Gwyneth (Paltrow, it was during a play reading. She had only done one film and people were starting to say, 'Oh, she's talented. She's Blythe Danner's daughter.' Nobody knew anything about her. She was 20, and we did this reading, and I asked her if she had ever heard of a producer named Bruce Paltrow, and she said, 'He's my dad!' She never mentioned anything about Blythe Danner (ex-Paige, ST. ELSEWHERE) being her mother. We all talked, had a good ol' time talking about what a wonderful producer/director her father was. And then she turned into a huge superstar."— www.soapoperaweekly.com
