Rachel Ward(I)

Met her husband, Bryan Brown, while working on The Thorn Birds (1983). She played the heroine, and he played the heroine's husband (who was not, however, the hero!).

You're in a movie because you're appealing and because you represent the aspiration, the fantasy, the ideal. I resisted that but, when you're in the business, when you're making a film, one doesn't have to take it all too seriously. We're not curing cancer . . . it's entertainment. We want to get people into theatres.
