“My mother's father was the behavioral psychologist, John B. Watson.” — Mariette Hartley

My father was a farm boy who never learned to be holding and supportive.

Drinking made me a lot more free sexually; the restrictions were off. I was a compulsive, compliant 'good girl' by day and a 'bad girl' at night.

I got used to certain things that normal kids don't get used to, like, when my mother went into the kitchen for things other than just cooking. I could hear the bottle open up and I could hear the chugs. Then the next morning, none of it was discussed. You grow up feeling crazy.

I've been in front of the camera the last 20 years, and it's just become a friend.
