She told how she cycled 60 miles a day while filming the movie An immoral offerShe rode her bike from her home to the set, which was 30 miles away.
“I think she was about five or six months old when we filmed (An immoral offer). So I fed her all night, got up in the dark with a trainer and a headlamp and rode my bike to Paramount, wherever, even to the place where we were shooting. Then I shot a full day, which is normally a 12-hour day, and then I started all over again,” she said. “Just the idea of what I did to my body is so crazy, so ridiculous.”
