Years ago, her laugh at the question of whether she had experienced situations of harassment went viral on social networks. “Can you imagine what it was like when I came here 40 years ago? With my looks? Coming from nowhere, Pennsylvania. I arrived without any protection. I've seen it all," said the actress.
