We all know that the studio didn't like Number One from "The Cage", but there's still debate on whether it was Barret's performance or the fact that she was Gene's mistress that was the problem.
Today I found an article that says that one problem people had with her was that she was "pushy."
PNQ: Opinions?
This one surprised me. I understand other complaints like "annoying" or "too masculine" or "bad actress", but not "pushy".
I had a screed about how Barret's roles were written vs. her acting talent, but it wasn't really relevant and it was drifting into bashing territory.
