THE CLASSIC SCENE
KAREN GILLAN: “The scene from The King Of Comedy where Sandra Bernhard is talking to Jerry, the talk-show host she’s gotten tied up. She’s created a little romantic meal for both of them, and she’s talking to him and flirting with him. I was really impressed with her performance, and I could see that she was improv-ing, and then I started to think of how much Scorsese must have been asking his actors to improvise. It makes me want to do that in my films.”
