Oh, 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.720 and it was a big film for Orian Pictures at 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:51.360 the time, Okay, and it was like a teen romantic 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:56.800 comedy and it was so much, oh my gosh, so 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.840 much fun. In fact, I think there's an episode of 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.520 Is there an episode of Full House where there's a 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.959 love letter that gets passed around and it's. 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.760 Secret Admirers the Secret Admirer. 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.959 Yeah, So that was that came. That idea came to 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:16.800 Jeff from that movie. I did Secret Admirer, and that's 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.880 how Jeff and that's how Jeff was aware of me 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:23.120 as an actress because of that movie. He saw that 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:24.880 movie and he liked that movie. So when they were 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:29.160 casting the role of Beth, he was like, Oh, can 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.480 we see about that girl? Lorie Lockwood and that that 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.759 sort of and then that's how that little storyline came 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:36.920 along on Full House because that was the premise of 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.039 Secret Admirer. It was a love letter that actually my 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.120 character wrote and it kind of gets and it gets 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.400 passed all over the place and to the parents of 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.440 the kids, and everybody thinks this everybody somebody else, And 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.240 that was the premise of that story. But that movie 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.000 was so much fun. We shot in Los Angeles. It 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.200 was it see Thomas Howell had just come off of the. 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:57.840 House that nothing shoots in LA. 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.800 I know. It was great. It was great, Like it 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:02.560 was when you could shoot in LA and you could 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.480 go like be up on the hills near the Hollywood sign, 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.920 like it was just amazing. It was just amazing, And 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:10.600 it was such a fun shooting. It was such a 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.440 fun movie, and so I'm really fond of that. I 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.760 also did a movie called The Night Before with Keanu 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:24.120 Reeves and it was like a little independent film about 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:27.079 a popular girl in high school who loses a bet 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.160 and has to go to prom with a nerdy guy 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.320 and he picks her up and he's driving to prom, 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:37.080 but he's got like a what do you call it? Direction? 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:38.240 I can't think of a name right now. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:39.360 My old brains. 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.799 Yeah, like a compass the thing of his car. And 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:44.880 he also has a gift for me that's got a magnet. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.240 So when he puts the magnet near the compass, he 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.400 ends up getting going the wrong way and going to 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.920 downtown LA and then he loses me. He wakes up 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.040 in an alleyway, he can't find me, and it turns 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.840 out he's like sold me, like just some trafficker. 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:02.040 Oh god, I hate when that happens. That's the worst. 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:02.840 But it was a funny. 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.359 It was a wake up like, oh no, not again, yeah, 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:06.240 my friend. 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.120 But it was like this funny, quirky black comedy. It 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.840 was really it was. It was fun. And we shot 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.080 downtown Los Angeles at night. In fact, we went to lunch, 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.880 well lunch for one night. We came back and some 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.000 gang had gotten into a fight and somebody had been 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.600 murdered in the alleyway where we were just shooting. Oh 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.840 oh my goodness. Like we were like, yeah, we were 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.520 in the thick of it. But it was fun, Like 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.519 I loved it. It was fun. It was so much fun. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.360 Keanu Reeves was a nerdy guy. 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.280 He was the nerdy guy. Could he was? 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:39.120 He was so much we all knew before we knew 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:40.160 that he. 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:41.000 Was gonna be. 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.440 He was what a lovely, lovely man. 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:47.880 I want to meet him so bad, just because I 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.880 hear he's so awesome and nice and lovely. 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.680 Yeah, he's just a dream.

I eventually went to brook Shields. 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:05.240 I didn't know that. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.280 Tell me how old were you and what on that audition. 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.280 I don't remember how old I was.

So she was, oh, okay, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.359 but you know what, you know what like, look, so 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.719 we all have auditions, We get close on things, we 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.240 get offers, we passed, we do whatever you know. For me, Ultimately, 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.760 I was like, I don't think I was. As I 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.359 kept getting further along in the audition process, I was like, 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.520 I don't know that. I'm like, I just me emotionally. 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.800 I just didn't run the content for me, not that 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.880 it was any big deal. But at the time when 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.680 you're little and you're like, oh I whatever, I just 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:53.280 felt oh. 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.040 Yeah, god yeah, when you're thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, you're like. 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.320 When everything's meant to be the ways, man, like, that's 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.600 her role.

Totally. 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.920 And maybe you know what, maybe she auditioned with Todd. 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:12.080 She might maybe Todd said, you know, Todd. 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.120 Was like, you know, I auditioned with people and then 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.040 they get movies and I don't. And his last audition 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:18.880 was with you and then and they went and on 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.960 Blue Lagoon. And well, when I. 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.120 Started modeling, I Brooke was one of the people I 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.320 first met and modeled with when we were kids. 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.839 Oh wow, yeah, yeah in New York. 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.479 Yeah. And she's such a nice what a nice person. 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.480 She's such a lovely just a lovely girl. I mean, 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:38.719 just a really nice woman. 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:40.440 That's great to hear. 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:42.080 But yeah, so I did you know? 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.360 Weren't you also in was it Rad? 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:45.520 Rad? 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:45.880 Oh? 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.120 My goodness, so Rad is a movie I did that. 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.599 Hal Needham, who was a stuntman, used to work with 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:55.320 Burt Reynolds a lot. We did this movie called Rad 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.719 and it was a very sweet film and then Hal 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.080 got his hands on it and kind of smokey and 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.000 the bandit like you remember them were just smoking the 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.040 band and he kind of like infused some of that 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:06.960 kind of stuff into it. Yeah. Yeah, And when I 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.440 got to work in Calgary, I thought, and I really 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.719 liked Hal a lot. He was He's a really nice man. 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.880 But I thought, oh man, this movie it got so cheesy. 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.159 It got really cheesy, and I thought, well, maybe it'll 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.520 just it'll come and go, like it'll come and go, 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.640 and it's got the craziest cult following to this place. 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.640 I have more young one of those. So weird to me. 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:32.680 Yeah, and they love that movie Rad. But Hal was 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:36.000 so funny, such a sweet man. But I remember the 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.240 lead actor, what was his name, Bill Allen, I think 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:44.080 was the lead. And Hal was so funny. He loved 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.200 Burt Reynolds, like, he had this incredible relationship with Burt 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.599 Reynolds and did the smoking in the bandit movies with them, 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.760 and he'd come up and this was his direction. Sometimes 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.359 he'd say to Bill Allen, remember that line that Burt 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.440 said in smoking in the bandit like this same line 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.239 like that. I thought, that's the craziest direction. 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.880 Was like know that other movie, just do that movie say. 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:14.520 The line like its okay, that was weird direction. But 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.080 Hal is fun like he was. He was just a 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.320 good old cowboy. So I have to say, like, I 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:25.200 can't really recall having too many bad experiences. I feel 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.280 lucky that way, you know, in my career, or or 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.560 sometimes I think if things were going awry on set, 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.880 I was just oblivious. I don't know. I've always just 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.520 loved what I was doing and always found the joy 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.920 in it and always had a good time and always 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:44.720 felt blessed to be working with really nice people. So 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.560 I'm happy to say, like all of those memories are 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:48.440 good ones. 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.880 Good yeah, And that's you know, I always like to 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.560 be able to tell those stories too, because you know, 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.640 we so often hear about all of the bad things. 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:01.120 But I always say, like our experience particularly on full 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.000 House and Fuller House and all of that, but I 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.440 do think even a lot of us in this business 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:10.480 had relatively good experiences overall and loved what we did. 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:14.120 And you know, with full House, the majority of you know, 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.520 our time for eight years I mean that was, like 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.920 you said, it was sort of unprecedented in how well 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.080 we got along and how much we loved being together. 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:27.640 And I'm glad it was. I'm glad it was a 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:32.000 good experience for you guys to because we did all, 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:36.160 like I always felt, we were all everybody behind the 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:40.360 camera in front of the camera were there to make sure, yes, 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.720 obviously to do our jobs, but also to make sure 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.280 that you guys were okay, that you were well taken 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.880 care of. You know, your parents were always around. I 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.520 think that was so important. They were always included. So 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.640 I'm glad that because you obviously we were hearing a 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.200 different side of the whole Nickelodeon thing right now, which 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:02.280 is very heartbreaking and really sad. Right, no child should 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:07.679 ever experience the horrors, and we. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:10.640 We were just so you know, fortunate, and like I 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:12.280 just look at I'm like, I just got to grow 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.640 up with this really big, awesome family that like that 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.079 loved me and that we had fun and like performed 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.000 and acted silly together and traveled occasionally and did all 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.320 kinds of fun stuff, and like it was, Yeah, it was. 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:39.240 It was an amazing experience. Oh my god, so many laughs. Yeah, 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.679 I always wondered, like, did you have any input on 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:48.240 Becky as a character, like who she was or how 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:52.560 she was with Jesse or with the kids, or was 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.520 was that kind of already they already had an idea 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:56.600 of who Becky was going to be. 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.960 No, And I think this happens a lot in television. 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:04.480 I think you come on and then you start playing 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:08.280 the role, and I think the writers watch and they go, like, 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.640 I remember Lenny Rips, one of our writers, said. 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.680 To me, we have Lenny on a couple of weeks ago. 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.400 I love Lenny anyway. I remember Lenny said to me, 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.000 we figured out, Laurie that you were kind of had 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.319 a good Yeah, you were good at sarcasm, like your comedy. 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.880 A lot of your comedy came out of these sarcastic 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.880 one liners. And once they kind of realize that, then 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:29.040 they would sort of write to that. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:29.960 Yeah. 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:31.640 I think they look at you and then they find 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.559 your strengths and they write to what they think are 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.880 your comedic straits and yeah, and you know, and I 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:39.640 think that's how that's so. It's so I think it's 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.120 what you're you're putting into it and how you're interpreting 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.079 the role. And I think then if you're you've got 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.720 a good set of writers, they're watching you going, oh, 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.360 she's really good here, let's write more of that for her. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:53.040 That's funny, you know, or these heartwarming scenes like that, 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.920 you know, like they nailed that, like she and John 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.160 have that. Or the chemistry between me and John. I 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.480 think that we had a lot of chemistry and they're like, oh, yeah, 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.880 let's run with that, you know. So so I think 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.160 it's a combination of both. I think it's what you bring. 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.840 But I think in television, especially when you you don't 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.160 always know what the long term journey is going to be, right, 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.400 like you're figuring it out. Writers are figuring it out 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.760 from season to season because you're watching your actors and 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.840 how they perform. It helps inform you as to maybe 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.400 where a story can go and the strengths of what 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:22.800 you know that actor can play to. 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.040 It's really I love thinking about that sort of collaboration 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:26.960 of you know. 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.000 But I think was always very collaborative, like we would 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.760 have our it really was, and uh after work and 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.960 you know, if we all had input. I remember like 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.120 if if the guys were unhappy about something, or if Bob, 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.559 you know, sometimes Bob was like, oh my god, I'm 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.480 going you would get mad because I'm always cleaning so much. 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.480 I'm always cleaning so much. And then like you know, 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.719 Jeff would try to right, I'll back some, we'll take 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.360 some of that down, Bob. Well, we won't make you 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.960 so neurotic about cleaning, you know, just but he was 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.040 open to listening and going, okay, I can adjust that 0:11:58.120 --> 0:11:59.120 for you. 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:04.400 Jeff was deaf, definitely, I would say an anomaly in 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:09.840 most showrunners in that he was very open to listening 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.080 to his actors and other people, and he was like, oh, 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:14.200 let's talk about it, you know what I mean. 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.160 There was he had no ego about it. 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.080 He was willing, no, none, No, he really didn't. And 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.440 he was like, all right, that's fine. You don't like it, 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.080 you know. And and when we went back into fuller, 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:26.360 you know, we kind of learned that as adults too. 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:27.520 If we'd be like, oh that sucks, he was like, 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.640 all right, cool, well don't do it, you know, like 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.760 he just didn't take it personally, and like that also 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:39.240 set the tone for everyone. You weren't like on pins 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.280 and needles, you felt like, oh, we can all work. 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.640 And that's not always the case, because we've all known 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.920 the stories about the showrunners and the writers that really 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.760 rule with an iron fist store. You can't say you 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.000 can't be off by one word. You've got to like 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.079 be letter perfect and you know, and it's we've all 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.320 heard those stories, but you don't have any input. You 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:01.440 have you know whatever. Right, So Jeff is really and 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:05.560 you're right, he was the top, right, he's our show runner, 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.000 so he sets the tone for the whole show, you 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.320 know it always, And that's how that worked. The person 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.800 at the top is the one that, like you said, 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.679 can make it a really hellish experience or a really 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:18.800 beautiful experience. 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.400 Yeah, no, was he was always great. Like I remember 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.440 one time I was doing a bit and it wasn't working, 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.640 so they rewrote it. I just kept trying to make 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.760 this bit work, and he came over to me and 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:31.920 he was like, is there any way you can make 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.480 this work? And I'm like, no, it's so far out there. 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.840 I don't remember specifics. But he's like, Okay, well, then 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.040 it's a writing problem. It's not an actor problem, it's 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.199 a writing problem. And so he went back and they 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.559 scrapped that whole bit from the scene so he was 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.480 very protective of his actors and. 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.800 I appreciate that so much. Now, Yeah, there was no berating. 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:50.640 There was never like, oh why can't He was like, Okay, 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.920 let's figure out how we make it work best. 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.640 And that's I think it's interesting. 0:13:54.679 --> 0:14:00.640 People don't always hear how different it can be when 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.360 you have someone who's really supportive, like kind of in 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:04.400 charge of running the show. 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.280 You hear so often about the people that are. 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.240 Screaming, and never you know the sets are miserable to 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.640 work on, and you're like, but there are those people 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.120 too that also make it really pleasant and make you 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.400 love your job and love to be creative. 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.720 Yeah, and I think you know, the experience and that 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.600 we all had and the love that we all had 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.520 for each other on the show. I always believe besides 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.880 the show being a good show and a funny show, 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.600 I think the chemistry that we all had as a 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.960 cast and the good time that we were having was 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.000 really palpable. If you watch the show, you can feel it. 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:38.800 And I think it's one of the reasons it became 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.920 such a successful show because people said, Oh, I want 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.000 to spend time with this family, I want to be 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.320 part of this family. I'd like a family like this. 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:47.640 I want to be part of this group. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.320 And I think I've always not the same thing. 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.720 And I think it's why people wanted to see what 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:58.840 happened to us thirty years later, because they knew we 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.520 all still had a reallylationship and oh my gosh, we 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.440 want to see more of that. Like I mean, we 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.160 would post a picture on Instagram and people would lose there, 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.360 you guys still hang out. And it was before full 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.360 House Fuller came back, and I was like, yeah, we do, 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.520 and there was such an investment in the relationships and 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:14.360 it was so. 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:16.320 Palpable. 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.960 I mean even watch rewatching these shows and seeing the 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:25.080 evolution of the you know, like John's relationship with Ashley 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.960 Mary Kate, you can see it on like the girls 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.040 kind of warming up to him and you know, and 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.400 like these relationships really developing, and it is It's part 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.360 of what makes the show so fun to watch. 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.920 It's funny. I remember when Fuller House was announced that 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.480 it was coming was coming back or you know, coming 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.560 on there was was it a trailer they released, you 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.960 guys and it was on YouTube or it hit YouTube, 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.240 and I believe so yeah, and it got so many 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:59.360 millions of views, and so my girls grew up watching 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.400 like the Disney Channel Hannah on Tana, and I never 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.800 really put full House on for them, And in fact, 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.160 if they stumbled on full House, they didn't they didn't 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.120 even want to watch it. Maybe it was weird for them. 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.360 I don't know. They were just like and I'm like, 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:12.800 do you want to watch that show? And they would 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.800 be like, no, we want to watch Hannah Montana. I'm like, okay, thanks, kids, but. 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.040 Right support exactly. 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.440 But when the trailer for Fuller House came out and 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:26.160 it got so many millions of views, I'll never forget 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:30.560 Olivia called me up and she goes, oh my god, Mom, 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:35.600 I didn't I'd never realize, like what a big show 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.400 this was. Like, my kids had no idea. They were 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:44.280 blown away by the response to Fuller House and that 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.840 we were all reuniting for Fuller House. They were absolutely 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:52.840 just flabbergasted. I couldn't believe. Like that, kids, they couldn't believe. 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.960 And even I think even for us, weren't you a 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.200 little like, well, I know we were a hit show, 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:01.520 but my goodness, the reception for Fuller House was off 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:02.440 the charts. 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.040 Always I've always felt that way about the show though, 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.240 Like I would go do appearances and people would show 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.840 up and you're like, wow, so you're all watching the show, 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:14.200 just all oh wow. A lot of it never felt 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:18.359 quite like it sunk in just how impactful this was. 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:22.720 But now forty some odd years into it, I know 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:27.240 it's amazing. You're like, oh my gosh, we have so much. 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:31.160 I mean, it's like a cultural touchstone in a lot 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:35.159 of ways, not only in this country, even I know. 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.960 A lot of Italy because Full House was filmed before 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:43.400 social media, so we couldn't feel like we had Nielsen ratings. 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.359 So we knew that the show was popular, but we 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.639 didn't have the influx of views and light right and 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:52.320 comment God, thank God, yes, so happy. 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:55.080 Yeah, and you imagine thankfully, and you could go out. 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.280 I do remember, though, when I would go out with John, 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.760 like sometimes John and I would we would pal around off, 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:01.960 you know, when we were outside of work too. We'd 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:04.199 go shopping, we'd go to malls, we do it. And 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.240 I remember a couple of times is being in a 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:09.600 mall with John and coming past like a group of 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:10.640 girls and. 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.680 You just knew.

I'm glad we could have some sort of 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:19.360 like a normal life off camera and be on camera, 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:22.879 and it was Yeah, I long for those days.
