She named 2, not just 1, coolest places she ever visited. The first was the beach at North Carolina and the other was a little cantina in Austin Texas which had the best food and wonderful atmosphere.
In a movie of her life, she said in regard to the actor/actress (living or dead) which she would like to be portrayed as: “I’ve been different sizes and appearances, so probably best left to CGI.”
