But she looked enough like me and she had my gestures down.
You could tell who it was.
She worked so hard.

Kudos to her for taking the role on.
However, she overcame her fears and gave Baez a call.
And I felt like I had so much respect for her.
But she was like, Oh, Im just in my garden listening to the birds.
Shes lived her life.
But she really took it in stride.
She wasnt trying to dictate in any way my response to her.
She was like, Im here, Im open and available for any question you have.
I was really appreciative that she was so generous with me.
I have to come back to thats how it was, Baez said.
When he walked into the room, he took up all the oxygen.
And so my part was always diminished in his presence.
And in that sense the film is accurate.
