"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."
