“Her incredible ability to love, her pure humanity. It’s such an exceptional quality. I didn’t expect it at all. She’s honest, open and understanding. She’s observant, but she doesn’t judge anyone, and she keeps completely unaware of outside judgement. In a time like that – and even now ! -, to be able to openly sleep with a man who sleeps with other men and women at the same time … And yet she stays true to the American ideals of the fifties. She travels both worlds so well ! At first, I didn’t understand it. LuAnne wasn’t being rebellious, she was just being herself. It wasn’t like “these times are killing me,” she just didn’t fit in them. Surprisingly, she had serious stomach problems when she was younger, but she ignored them. She was okay with her own insecurities; that’s what made her able to take the trip.”
