The Outsiders

S. E. Hinton on the movie

The Outsiders was my second movie - what a cast!

I couldn't have asked for better actors for the parts, and couldn't have had nicer people to work with.

The Outsiders was a lot of fun to shoot because of the cast, who were ordinary, goofy, sweet teenagers off-camera and serious artists in front of it.

I was sort of a greaser den-mother - I still miss my boys.

I think some readers are unhappy with the way The Outsiders was edited, and there are parts we shot I wish were in the final version, but it is a very faithful adaptation.

I play the nurse in Dallas' room - Matt and I had a hard time keeping a straight face during that scene!
