Quotes :
- "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 the Raquel Welch's character in One Million Years B.C. (1966). She was more primitive because of the Ape's suppression. We played it by ear and experimented. It was really a moment-to-moment thing."
