Nonspeaking film parts are not as much anathema to actresses as they might sound—Jane Wyman and Patty Duke rode their screen silence all the way to the Oscars. So model Cynthia Bailey doesn't mind being Sandra Bernhard's silent, but highly visible, partner in the film of Without You I'm Nothing. Besides, she's in almost every scene. As Roxanne, the "cool, urban black chick" Bernhard dreams of being, Bailey quietly stalks the film. Upon getting the part, Bailey called her mom in Alabama, who confessed, "l don't know who Sandra Bernhard is, but she must be a lovely girl. "
