Grier is so okay that she plans to have a baby—her first—with her boyfriend, 35-year-old record producer Kevin Evans. But the memory of her illness, she says, was all the preparation she needed to play Jackie Brown. Like herself, she says, "Jackie solves her problems one step at a time. She's going to survive all these people trying to destroy her life and making decisions for her. She's making decisions on her own, which is what I had to do. It was like a building hit me, and I was able to crawl out from underneath and walk away."
