"Pulls out a cigarette, is given a light by another character, and stands
around holding it for the rest of the scene. She's merely acting [as a ]
cover ID and her main character is still a non-smoker.
Other references to this movie:
Sharon Gless - Proof - "I used to smoke, then I didn't and then I did for 10 years. And then I took it up again... I'm not proud of it. My husband said, 'How lucky are you they're paying you to smoke?'... It is fun, just because I know what to do with a cigarette. A lot of times you see actors just suck on the cigarette and blow it out. I want to say 'Why are you bothering?' It looks fake... I rehearse with the cigarette. I rehearse when to light it, when to put it down, when to put it out, when to almost light it. So I have to rehearse always outside with the coach - and the mosquitoes - because my husband doesn't allow cigarettes in the house and I agree...Even when I rehearse the scenes I'll have a cigarette in my hands", w/video from "Burn Notice" (2007), weblog, Jul. 9, '08
Sharon Gless - Proof - " 'Do you mind if I smoke?' Sharon Gless asks. The question was odd because the actress was seated on the patio of the posh Langham, Huntington Hotel & Spa. Californians tend to object to smokers even if they're obeying the rules. It's also strange because it's hard to imagine Gless without a cigarette dangling from her digits. On the USA Network series ["Burn Notice" (2007)], her character, Madeline Westen, is rarely without a smoke... Gless never expected she'd be allowed to smoke on TV again. 'But that was the way the character was written: a chain-smoking hypochondriac,' Gless said, sending a puff of smoke into the afternoon air. 'My husband said, 'How happy are you? They're paying you to smoke.' I'm glad they allow me to smoke because I can do so much with that cigarette. I can take a hit, hold it in my lungs, say whole sentences, and then blow it out when I choose for emphasis.' She knows plenty of people disapprove. Gless said she doesn't care because it helps her act and she enjoys it...'I am grateful they continue to let me do it,' said Gless, with a puff of smoke for emphasis", Fresno Bee, Jun. 3, '09
