This film is cult legit and I am proud that this risk paid off, cuz I have a career!” The critically acclaimed actress further added, “Whenever I feel low I think of the time that Roger Ebert decided my work was noteworthy and I become ok really quick. Thanks for loving this film! / Always tell haters, underestimators, alligators that talent is immune to erasure.”

Meanwhile, the message on her screen read, “For the longest time I believed I was only cast as Nagma Hatun because perhaps someone else turned it down. Well, my good luck because I thoroughly enjoyed it. Feisty, angry woman who was wronged but was not a victim. It was great to work with such a stellar cast. It is no surprise that the film went on to become a cult class. For me, it was a risky part playing someone so much older but it is definitely a risk that paid off. I am still here doing cool things. Thank you!”
