I was a Valley girl; I hung out, and through a photographer friend. I met Peter Douglas, who was one of Kirk Douglas’s kids. He introduced me to Sam Spiegel. – Theresa Russell
My mother was 18 when I was born. She split with my father when I was 6, and married another man when I was about 7. My mother was about 25, my stepfather was about 26, I’m six or seven, I was looking at them and I knew they were just too young. – Theresa Russell
