Biografía

Originally applied to Law School but slept in on the morning of her interview and took it as a sign she was destined for other things.

She left her just-claimed Oscar for Kramer contra Kramer (1979) on the back of a toilet during the 1979 festivities.

Robert De Niro said she is his favorite actress to work with.

As of 2018, she is the most nominated actress with 21 Academy Award nominations.

Donated her entire salary for La dama de hierro (2011) to the Women's History Museum.

[Entertainment Tonight (1981)] I had it (smoking), it stinks.

[1978] I'm looking forward to bigger parts in the future, but I'm not doing soft-core scripts where the character emerges in half-light, half-dressed.

[on her Lifetime Achievement Award from the AFI] I don't want to spit in the eye of good fortune, but it was weird. I felt like I'd butted in line in front of Lucille Ball, Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn. Hello? How did this happen? I was only the sixth woman to receive it, but they found 26 men to give it to. I thought that was embarrassing.

[on her view of acting back in college] I thought it was really fun, you've got to understand, but I didn't think it was a serious way to conduct your life. You know, I had a sense of mission. I was a true child of the '60s.

I love doing comedy, but people just don't give me enough of a chance. It's one of the reasons I enjoy El mensajero del miedo (2004) so much. It's because I actually get a chance to be funny.
