and the release of the picture.
:32:03
I was in Marfa for about six weeks.
:32:05
I remember when I arrived there....
It's out in the middle of nowhere.

:32:08
It's a tiny little town. A cattle town.
:32:11
One of the really strange things about it...
:32:14
is that Marfa was so small,
and we had a very large crew...

:32:18
and a very large cast.
:32:20
There weren't really
any living accommodations.

:32:23
A lot of people had to live
quite far out of town.

:32:28
I lived in a house
with five of the actresses...

:32:33
Fran, who played my sister,
and Jane Withers...

:32:36
and Mercedes McCambridge.
:32:39
I'm trying to think who else.
I was one of them, of course.

:32:43
There was one other.
Five of us in this house.

:32:47
I had just recently been married.
:32:50
I was only married like four months.
My husband couldn't come to visit.

:32:55
This was a house of all girls,
and there was no place to put him up.

:32:59
I'm not sure he quite believed me
when I said this.

:33:03
He called the company,
and actually George spoke to him...

:33:07
privately, too.
:33:09
This was the situation. Nobody could bring
their husbands or wives.

:33:13
There just wasn't any space.
:33:15
We worked very long hours, all day long.
:33:18
At night,
there wasn't anything for anybody to do.

:33:22
That's why we started
what the crew called "Withers USO."

:33:27
Everybody came to my little house
that Mr. Stevens rented for me...

:33:31
and that's where we had
Monopoly marathons...

:33:35
and bridge tournaments
and croquet tournaments...

:33:38
and crazy things
to keep everybody busy at night.

:33:41
We had a good time there.
:33:43
Rock would come almost every night.
:33:46
Jimmy wouldn't come.
Dear Gussy, Jimmy wouldn't come...

:33:49
until everybody left and went home.
:33:52
Then the first time I found him there,
I dang near died.

:33:56
I was closing up the house,
putting all the Coca-Cola bottles...
