#Quote
1[on her character "Nova" in Planet of the Apes (1968)] I felt very intuitive that my particular personality and nature were like Nova. Automatically, I'd say that's about 80% of the part. The director, the producer and the writer talked with me about her, and they described her as "sub-human." We hadn't really had an actress play "sub-human" before. Nova's not like Raquel Welch's character in One Million Years B.C. (1966). She was more primitive because of the apes' suppression. We played it by ear and experimented. It was really a moment-to-moment thing.
#Fact
1Along with Charlton Heston, she is one of only two actors to appear in both Planet of the Apes (1968) and Planet of the Apes (2001).
2As of August 2009, her primary residence--since the late 1970s--has been on the Eastern Shore of her home state of Maryland.
3Ex-sister-in-law of Darrilyn Zanuck DePineda.
4Ex-daughter-in-law of Darryl F. Zanuck and Virginia Fox.
5Mother, with Richard D. Zanuck, of sons Harrison Zanuck and Dean Zanuck.
6Second wife of Richard D. Zanuck.
7She was to be the sheriff's (Roy Scheider) wife in Jaws (1975), which her husband Richard D. Zanuck was producing. However, Universal chief Sid Sheinberg wanted his own wife, Lorraine Gary, to have the part. Since Sheinberg was Zanuck's boss, Gary got it.
8Interviewed in "It Came from Horrorwood: Interviews with Moviemakers in the SF and Horror Tradition" by Tom Weaver (McFarland, 1996).
