The one scene I was uncomfortable with was the scene where they actually kill me by tying my feet to a block of cement. My grandson recently asked me how they did the scene. And I told him - "They tied me to a block of cement!" He couldn't believe it. That was the way we did things back then.

They had to position me at a point in the pool where only my hair would be floating on top of the water. I couldn't be too deep and I couldn't be too shallow. It was just at the point where the bottom of the pool would float into the deep end. What nobody realised was that the block was slowly inching towards the deep end. There came a time when I couldn't reach the rope to pull my mouth free to breathe and everybody got a little panicky. People jumped in to untie me. It was not terrifically pleasant!
