:12:01
and the wardrobe girls and everyone
were over there crying and carrying on.
:12:06
The truth is we were just so hung-over
that we couldn't do anything but just look.
:12:11
My father made A Place in the Sun...
:12:14
which was the first really mature role...
:12:18
that Elizabeth had played,
and that was a wonderful experience.
:12:22
And of course,
it was a great film and a great role for her.
:12:28
So when Giant came along...
:12:29
I think he knew
that he'd been to the well with her...
:12:33
and thought
that she would be good for this part.
:12:37
And she really did a wonderful job.
:12:40
Like Rock, she had to age 25 or 30 years...
:12:45
and go into territory
that she hadn't been before.
:12:49
I got some great pictures of Elizabeth.
:12:52
One favorite is in the movie film, but
I have some wonderful black-and-whites.
:12:58
She was always saying,
for me clowning, saying, "Darling! "
:13:02
I have a lot of "Darling! " of Elizabeth
that I just love...
:13:05
in different outfits,
as she grew older through the film.
:13:09
I think Elizabeth was
so wonderful for the part...
:13:13
because one of the things
that she does best...
:13:17
is this haughty rich girl.
:13:20
To see this lush, green country
that she came from in Virginia...
:13:25
where she rode horses,
and she was the queen...
:13:29
and then to see this flower from the East...
:13:33
taken into the stark Texas countryside...
:13:38
where there was nothing
but dust and sagebrush and so forth.
:13:43
It was a wonderful contrast.
:13:46
I think she had some marvelous scenes
that she did very well.
:13:51
Although I feel that as an actress...
:13:54
Elizabeth really came into her own
a little bit later.
:13:59
It was a question of her, too,
not quite having the confidence.
