Dawn Botkins: You know, I love her, Charlize, to death -- she's really cool -- I let her come over and read all the letters -- but the movie I think is good - I can't say too much against it -- they might get pissed, for one thing.
Dawn Botkins: No. Remember, in those days, they hid that kind of stuff from the family -- they didn't want no one to know -- that's why she was in the unwed's home.
Dawn Botkins: Her defense, she would come to the aid of Lauri and me. She was very generous, like with the money she would make...she and I would go to the mall, and laugh, except when the drugs came in -- we all did that in those days - the kids would start teasing her.
