Is Palmer dead? No comment. But do you know whether or not he's dead? Yes. With the ratings jump, are things different fan-wise? Well, now [laughs] I have people handling my fan mail. When did that happen? The moment I came back second season. There was an article in Savoy Magazine, I think, and it said, "The Bitch Is Back!" [laughs] And all of sudden I was like, "Whoa!" It was a flood of fan mail. People like evil, go figure. [laughs] You don't want to play the good girl. Yeah, I'd think it would be awful to be cast as Kate. Especially when they're writing characters like Sherry. Let's talk about clothes, hair, and makeup. This was a much better year. This year I got a haircut and I was so pleased. Last year people who met me in real life would say to me, "Oh my God, I thought you were so much older!" You're playing a character, you're not thinking how that transfers back to you, but apparently I looked a lot older in "First Lady" mode. Yeah, you look much younger on Larry Sanders and it's not like a lot of time passed since they went off the air. Yeah, it was fun to think about what Sherry would do with her hair now that she wasn't in the public eye. I decided that she would wear her hair straight and long. But then I had a chance to change again when I reappeared and I opted for the classic ponytail. Two reasons. I was doing a movie in Canada and I was flying back and forth and [I] knew I couldn't be caught between a rock and a hard place in terms of hair. I don't like to damage my hair with hot irons and stuff like that so I thought if I simplified my hairstyle, it would make it easier to go from one set to another. I wore a wig for the other project and it worked out beautifully because it was all so simple. Just pull it back and it's classic. And you're divorced now… That was a conscious choice. My thought was that, hey, a man drops you -- you better look great. From your hair to your crusty toes! [laughs] File those puppies and show them off. I was interested in looking good. I still had to keep the professional look because she needs to occupy that world. She knows everybody. You're not going to find her in a mini-skirt or a torn t-shirt. Not too much crazy hair. She still had a classiness about her. What was most important was getting closer to Sherry's age. Sherry is six years older than Penny and I don't have to fix things yet. I want people to remember me as not a bad-looking chick. And she's not that old. At least I have younger fans calling me hot. I'm a hard-working lady. I can outrun these younger kids!
