"I started producing on Monster, and it just happened that I felt the need to protect a first-time director, who was really taking a huge risk. The character was very unusual," she said of real-life serial killer prostitute Aileen Wuornos, who was executed in 2002 for killing seven male clients.

Have you seen what she looks like?'"

"And I got that call, like, 'What's going on with that?' This is back in the day when it took, like, three weeks for dailies to make it back here, and I got a call at 3AM from the guy," she recalled.The resistance, she said, went on until the very last day; no distributor would touch the film, and it wasn't until the day she and Jenkins were about to sign a straight-to-video deal with Blockbuster, that they got an 11th hour call from distributor Bob Berney.
