Sharon Gless

Sharon Gless (when asked if she would like to do a 'bang out' comedy): They make me nervous, especially because there are so many of them now. I don't know. I know on my network, which was CBS. I'm not really there anymore. Tyne and I were asked to leave, because of our age, along with Angela Lansbury. So I don't know how receptive they would be for doing a comedy with someone my age. There are only about three really, really good sitcoms on the air. So, I think there's too many of them. If it could be something really, really special. Really, really unusual. You know what I would really like to do? I'd like to do a half hour drama with comedy in it. You know what I'm saying? But not the typical ba-boom boom, you set the joke up and then the lead gets to say the line.....

Sharon Gless (about the movie 'The Girl Next Door'): Well I'm doing a movie here for CBS, called THE GIRL NEXT DOOR. The girl next door is played by Tracey Gold. It's the story about a young girl who comes into the police station and confesses, or tries to confess, to a murder that happened two years ago. Where I come in is I'm the psychiatrist who is assigned to pull the story out of her.

Sharon Gless (about her character and Jason Issacs character on 'The State Within'): She and Mark Brydon respect each other very much. They're very complex characters who start off as allies, but become enemies for a while because of a lot of false information.
