I was interested in acting for a very long time. We would always recite poems if company came to the house, we always had to do something. I remember being very small reciting a poem because your mother's friends had to seat there and listen to all the children play the violin, that's what happened, that's what you did. My mother I think inspired me to become an actress. You know when a tree seems to be going a certain way, the atmosphere or the family , the spiritual environment at home, oh yes he's gonna be an architect. If that child is gifted in some way, he might really be an architect. The spiritual will of the family and then I think the elements conspire to move you to those directions is said you will go.
Performing a poem, "Daughter," while Odetta plays "When I Was A Young Girl" on With Ossie and Ruby. Clip originally aired in 1981.
My mother was a teacher, disciplinarian, she was always talking about education and we had to get good grades, she helped us with the work. She was really one-track when it came to education but she did want me to have a career in acting. It was she that I heard arguing with my father one night.
