JC: You must have been very hot in those costumes, too.

CS: Oh absolutely! And being tied up is not my favorite thing.

I had an experience in a movie once where I was in a place called Bronson Caves. It's somewhere here in the Los Angeles area. But they had me tied up in between these gas torches. I'm supposed to be in the cave and they put up these gas torches. So I was tied up, and one of them wouldn’t light. The prop man came over where I’m tied up right next to it between one and one that wouldn’t light. He put a match up to it and it blew the match out, so much gas was coming out! Then when he finally got it lit, it kind of exploded! I don’t think it blew off his eyebrows. That happened to me, too, growing up. I think I was fourteen or fifteen. My mother said, "Well, we’re going to have some steaks. Would you go out and light the gas grill?" I went out and I guess I turned it on too long because it blew up in my face and burnt my eyelashes, eyebrows off, and the front of my hair. So between that, I mean, I don’t mind being tied up in life like for fun, but when I had to be tied up there, it was sheer misery on my face. It was easy to act being miserable.
