And I was mortified and I was trembling when it finished. I was crying my eyes out and I had to go on do a very formidable, very strong scene thereafter”) and how she hated that her character became little more than a love interest (“I did throw scripts across rooms when I read them because I would get very frustrated by the diminishing amount of her own story that there was to play”).
