Fun items about it

  1. fun, about The Last Emperor: Campion's fear of attachment: she loved the middle kid in The Last Emperor and was mad when he grew up, so she timed Angel's actor switches for happy moments.
    “I was basically afraid like, oh, you're gonna love one of them and you're gonna, you know, miss them when they're gone.”
