Acting was her first love but realizing she had to make a living, she next went to the Rutgers University School of Law, where she was one of two women in a class of approximately 150 students, graduating in 1963. One of her professors and mentors was Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was associate editor of law review and graduated Cum Laude.
