Excerpt:

When O’Hara, now 70 years old, was cast in the beloved 1988 Tim Burton film about a raunchy, mischievous spirit (played by Michael Keaton), she had no idea how the weird and wacky story would land. “You never know how something’s going to be received,” she says. “I mean, that’s the magic. That’s the scariest thing. But if you’re lucky enough to work with people who make each day exciting, creative and stimulating, that’s the best, because you really don’t know where it’s gonna go from there. So much of it is luck and timing.”
