Comedy
and French Farce are Sugar's forte'...but she has made all types
and styles of movies.. comedy.. drama.. adventure.. industrials..
commercials etc. Asked about lessons, drama classes, and coaches
for actors preparing she said "Be very careful about choosing
a teacher.. not just any one who puts up an ad in a show biz
paper will do.. an actor can waste a lot of money and time and
get into very bad acting habits! Dancing and Diction classes
ARE very important. ..Going to acting classes year after year..doing
scenes (but not on a professional status) can be a huge waste
of time, money, and energy. Community or College theatre in
front of an audience is a good thing.. but just memorizing scenes
to do in class with just any actor who is there.. I think should
be limited. The time is better spent doing exercise.. studying
biographys of famous people (not just actors)...and NOT getting
in a position to learn BAD acting habits and cliche's. The natural
talents and abilitys are the most saleable. Each individual
is a special unique creation ONE OF A KIND. The freshness of
this individual personality not the mob mentality is what is
important. DO..DO..DO and don't just talk about doing!"
