Watching Spielberg interact with Thomas and Barrymore, seeing what the kids were like when the cameras weren't…

It is very true that she was nice to everyone even though she didn't have to be. I was a freshman and she was a senior, and I still remember that I very shyly introduced myself to her and told her how much I enjoyed her performance as Cecily in The Importance of Being Earnest.
