The actress also detailed the legacy of the cult classic film "Spider Baby."
Fox News spoke to the 77-year-old about starring in Disney’s "Old Yeller," the cult classic "Spider Baby," as well as her favorite co-stars from Hollywood’s golden era. Fox News: As a child star, you were famous for your ability to cry on cue. How did you manage that?Beverly Washburn: I don’t know *laughs*. It’s funny because it seems like almost every role that I ever did, I had to cry. I guess I’ve always been a little bit overly sensitive so it was easy for me to cry. And you just immerse yourself in the situation and what the character was feeling, so I couldn’t help but cry. I pretended that whatever I was filming was actually happening to me and it brought on the tears.More Related News
