In 1985, The New York Times also lauded Albright's acting in the film. With respect to her personal assessment of her role in A Cold Wind in August, Albright said in 1961, "Some people come up to me and say, 'Lola, you shouldn't play that kind of part. It isn't you.' Well, I count to 10, bite my tongue and then tell them that I'm an actress: I don't want to play myself."

Ask them, theyre here. "You can stop saying that now. Thank you."
