ever got, but I had lied and said that I'd been in several other films and when
I turned up, I knew absolutely nothing. I also claimed I was able to waterski.
I didn't. I had to learn water skiing techniques that were really difficult in
five days as I had to take part in the Sea World water skiing show. I have no
idea what swimming is!" She followed this with All the Right Moves (1983),
Red Dawn (1984) as well as The Wild Life (1984).
