Crimes and Misdemeanors

Huston plays Dolores Paley, a flight attendant having an affair with a married ophthalmologist, in this drama written, directed by, and co-starring Woody Allen. After Paley threatens to reveal herself to his wife, he hires a hitman to have her killed. Co-starring Martin Landau, Claire Bloom, and Alan Alda.

No one in the world would ever conclude that I was the best person to play that part in Crimes and Misdemeanors, which was why I so appreciated it. I’m seen as this threatening woman—or as some kind of cold mortician, or many other things. But I’m not usually seen as this whining, grasping, weak, impossible flight attendant!
