...anything for Bob Altman now and for the rest of my life, en-nee-thing," she says. By asking her to take the part of a mystic birdwoman-spirit in Brewster McCloud (TIME, Jan. 4), Altman might have been abusing her loyalty, but she responded by supplying moments of melancholy, dizzy hilarity and aching sexuality to an otherwise benighted project...

More softly, she concedes: "I don't like being a clown or a militant, but sometimes you have to break this conspiracy of silence." Another angry woman, Kahn Tineta Horn, effectively uses a trim figure in a tight buckskin dress to gain television...
