“It’s funny, duringLeague of Our Own, my character again, I think was gay.
And when she had that speech ‘I never really felt like a real girl.
“I said, ‘Pen, did you read the words?
The words are totally that she finally feels she fits in amongst this group of tomboys.
There’s this little bit of an undertone.”
O’Donnell was only 30 when she starred in Marshall’s 1992 classic, which was considered her breakout role.
“I had a great experience onA League of Their Own.
And I said, ‘In a minute.’
Then she sent me the pilot that she did and it was just really beautiful.”
