“Bobbie has been a fascinating person for me to play,” she said in an interview in 1982. “I get to do... all the things that most women think about but wouldn’t dare.” Jon Lindstrom, who plays Kevin Collins wrote, “This is going to take me a minute to process. I can’t believe such a life force as hers has left.”
