Jack Nicholson has SAID the character of Wendy was "the hardest role anyone has ever had to play." When asked by ROGER EBERT about how the shooting was, she responded "Almost unbearable. Going through day after day of excruciating work, my character had to cry 12 hours a day, all day long, the last nine months straight, five or six days a week. I was there a year and a month. After all that work, hardly anyone even criticized my performance in it, even to mention it, it seemed like. The reviews were all about Kubrick, like I wasn't there."
WENDY Okay. I understand. I'll come back later on with a couple of sandwiches for you and... maybe you'll let me read something then.
