Scream Sally Scream

The fantastic Stacie Ponder at Final Girl (you do read Final Girl, right? You need to be) got to interview Marilyn Burns, best known as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's "final girl" Sally Hardesty, over at Pretty-Scary. Choice quote, while talking about what a difficult, tense shoot TCM was:

"It was a challenging performance, I’d say. The only thing that was good about it was I got to scream… everybody says “Well, why didn’t you lose your voice?” It was my only weapon of attack, to use my voice because I knew they all hated it. It was enough to really piss ‘em off. Even when they yelled “cut” I would keep screaming as long as I could, because that way, for all the jabbing, poking, throwing me on the floor…"

Burns comes off as a wonderful interview subject; what I'd give to meet this woman! Actually, what I most want before I die is a picture of myself, Burns, and Jaime Lee Curtis together. Why can't I be one of those damned Make-a-Wish kids? They have all the luck.
