She worked at the restaurant Canastel’s with Sandra, who “had her act together,” while she “was partying a lot in those years.”

“It was sort of 50/50 whether I made the shift or not,” she admitted, adding that for some reason she “couldn’t get fired.”

“There was this very forgiving maitre d’, Moreno. All of us wanted to be actresses. We all had these little white coats and my coat was always kind of stained,” she said.

“I tried to get Fourth of July off. It was one of those nights you really couldn’t pull a no-show,” because it was “a big night at the restaurant.”

“I went to Roosevelt Hospital and found an ambulance driver and he strapped a patch and a white thing around my head. I called the restaurant and I got Moreno and told him, ‘You’re not gonna believe this but I was at a party last night and someone put a cigarette out in my eye,’” she said, laughing, adding that he said: “That’s too bad” but “you’ll have to come to work anyway.”

She also revealed which star she credits for revitalizing her career.
