And also something he was doing, and is the first one, he was doing the music before starting the film. Before each scene he was putting the music of Jill. It was fantastic because you became immediately the person, I mean Jill. I was Jill after the music, the emotion, everything.
And also, Sergio Leone was considered in Italy a director of category B, not a big director.
And I had a big opportunity with Richard Brooks, The Professionals, which is really a magnificent movie.
Because I'm a European actress, and I was going there for movies. But then I was coming back to Europe, to Italy.
But Luchino wanted to make the point, immediately, that he was the master on the set. And after became very, very close friends.
But Sergio Leone invented totally the way of, you know, the details, the eyes, the hands - fantastic.
But to do this kind of work, you have to be very strong, otherwise you lose your personality, your identity.
But we did the Pink Panther not in Hollywood, in Italy.
I've also been doing all the literature, Italian literature. But no, I don't like to repeat very much. I like to float with the camera.
It's fantastic because I've been living thousands of lives, not only my life.
Many other movies, but for me The Professionals is the best I did in Hollywood.
Yes, they wanted me to sign a contract of exclusivity, and I refused.
