Just so you know, you 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.600 guys the only one of her brood that was actually 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:58.120 alive during the filming of nine. That's right. I had 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.800 my own little trailer, you did. But before you had 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:04.760 your own trailer on the set, you were Bob in 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:10.080 the belly. We called you Bob. Yeah, well, Jason kind 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.600 of coined that. He named you Bob. I think he 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.000 was directing an episode and um he was trying to 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.679 figure out how the hell to hide Bob my stomach. 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:20.320 So we would always just be like, what are we 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.880 gonna do the Bob? Should I have gone by Bob 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:28.560 him and Bob growled all the time during scenes and 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.760 Bob kicked. Yeah, she was there. You were wonder what season? 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:40.240 So you were in like the seventh season ish, So 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.000 I can't wait to watch that season. See like, how 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.600 do you hit your bump? What would you wear? Like 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:50.760 purses or just big bags? Yeah, big mo moves. Hiding 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:55.920 behind I was like holding random objects. Yeah, he'd get 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:57.480 her in and get her on the couch as fast 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.520 as possible. But that it was worth it. It was 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.640 worth every moment of it. But yeah, I remember we 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.720 had that little trailer set up for you in the 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:10.640 back and you were just a little toddler running around 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.919 and we had like astro turf and a pick white 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.720 picket fence like area, and um, it got real hot 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:18.560 one day, so we had to put in sprinklers a 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:23.800 little misters. Again. She has separation anxiety and wanted to 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:27.600 take me. Yeah. No, I couldn't leave. I had to 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.600 go back. I don't know about you guys, but when 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.480 you have a kid and you're working, you have to 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.120 go back right away to work. I was back at 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.760 work one month and when you were one month old. 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:42.440 I think if that right, tour you've had that experience 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.160 going back to work with a baby on your boob basically, 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.960 oh yeah, oh yeah. But it's great when you have 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.120 a workplace where you can bring them with you and 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.959 it's welcoming, and we were so excited to have you there. 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:59.640 I'm set. Did anybody else her first baby? First? The 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:08.320 first Andrea? Andrea Gabbett had a baby, right, But I 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.840 don't know. It's different with Luca Bella, she was just 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.320 she was ours, thanks story. I can I call you that. 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.320 I can't call you that. I'm sad I'm not in 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.680 the same space as you because I haven't seen you 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.720 in person since you came to our house during quarantine. 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.800 I napped off snacks for my mom's birthday. It was 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.800 like that of quarantine. We were so scared to be 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.320 close to you because we hadn't seen humans in like 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.280 two months. And I checked Dorito's at her from six 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:41.080 ft apart, and then we quietly looked around and then 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.360 said can we hug? And we hug major no one 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.800 was watching. I know I miss you. I follow you 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.120 on Instagram every day. I feel like I'm creepy, but 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.560 I don't know. I'm such a fan of the podcast, 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.080 So I'm so happy to be here. She listens. She's 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.680 one of our listeners right here in the flesh, big fan, 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.880 I listen, I run. I live in Manhattan, so I 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.680 always put you in when I'm walking around. Yeah, it's 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.880 so lovely. It's like having my mom's plural in my ears. 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.960 Oh my gosh, that is so beautiful. You do? You 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:19.720 get her right there every week since you are a listener, Um, 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.400 how many stars do you give us? And and what 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.880 what's your opinion? Like? What can we do better? Well? 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.240 When I first started listening, I called my mom and 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.640 I said, Mom, I know you have a bad memory 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.720 because I live with you and you never remember anything. 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.719 But you've got to try hard to remember some juicy 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.800 gossip because that's all the all we want out here 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.000 is some good gossip. So I said that earlier, but 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.960 she's been getting better. I just want some juice. I'm like, 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.320 I want some I'm like, I don't know what. I 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.880 want her to spill the JA moments from the both 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:56.080 of you. I'm like playing cheet Sometimes. You did a 0:04:56.120 --> 0:05:00.240 good jobs with me of getting it out of them. Yeah, 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.520 but yeah, it's fun because I, of course was so 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.039 little when they were, UM being all hot and famous 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.119 and going around, and you know, now I get to, UM, 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.520 I feel like live. I know, I never asked my 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.120 mom questions. I get to kind of live vicariously through 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.719 the question af through UM you asking them questions? Has 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:22.520 any Luca you said, We're sorry, sorry, sorry, we're no 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.040 longer hot and we're no longer famous. You picked that up. 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.839 I didn't even pick that up. Ye, sorry, heard nothing 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.760 else except for them. It's still hot story. I don't 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.480 care about the famous part. I'm like, I'm not hot 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:40.159 anymore than damn it. Have you watched all the episodes? 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:45.080 I was trying to remember. I watched them in middle school, 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:47.400 and I haven't watched them in a while. So it's 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.599 fun to watch UM this episode that you guys are 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:55.320 gonna talk about. Mm hmm yeah. M She's she's nervous 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.120 to be here. I think she's like, I don't want 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.080 to be on the air. Is it called on the air? 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.560 Do you say that? Are we on the air? We 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.080 say it? I feel like I'm on the air. We 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.320 still are, like we have listeners, viewers, what do we have? 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.200 What's happening? I'll just sit in and maybe if we 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.080 can get some more and juicy stuff out of them. 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.160 Listening together, I can help you pull the teeth. Oh 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.760 my gosh, I'm nervous. I'm nervous. I'm gonna say something 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:25.280 inappropriate in front of my child. What's new? Sorry, I'm 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:29.760 worried I'm gonna say something inappropriate in front of your child. Well, 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.840 so happy happy week, everybody.

Umh No, 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:23.000 she she was here doing an HBO Max show UM 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:28.960 called Station eleven. UM. But I met Lori in I 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:30.920 think one of my first jobs of pilot, and she 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.760 and I were both in it UM and so I've 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.200 known her forever but I haven't seen her really. I 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:41.360 haven't gotten to do quality time with her really since then. Um, 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:43.319 but I got to go with her a lot. In fact, 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.320 I'm in her room right now. She she was here 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.080 since February. This is her room since February, and she 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.679 left on Monday. As you can see there, fresh flowers everywhere, 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:58.000 looks really beautiful. I'm a huge fan of hers. She's fantastic, 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.200 and so I just I used served her whole environment. 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.400 She left a ton of stuff for me. Flower always 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:07.800 home me, stuff like the horrible corporate couch stuffs covered 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:12.400 with fabric you see over there. And she's fresh flowers 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:17.679 and every surface and anyway, so I'm sort of I'm 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.680 a foe Lori petty right now. Wait, can I ask 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:24.000 you a question about your hair? Yeah? Is your hair 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.000 really longer? Do you put extensions in? No? My hair 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:31.360 is not long, y, My hair is like this, that's long. 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.960 This is this is long hair for you? Well it's not, well, 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:39.680 it's long like this is let your hair down, girl, 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:46.600 that's a year of COVID's senior hair and so long. Yes, 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.400 you almost have a bob. You almost have like an 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.839 actual bob. I could and I mean actually structure and 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.920 I get home again. But because um my look, my 0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:02.400 hair like look was dictated by s post um credits scene, 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.520 I did and culled a Chucky. Um. I had long 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.720 blonde hair then, so I had to match that color 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.559 and length. That's why you see me as you do now. 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:15.960 So yeah, that longer hair is a piece. This is 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.160 so fun for so many people that there's going to 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.280 be a Chucky's TV series because so many people loved 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:25.680 that movie. There's seven movies. Oh sorry those movies. The 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.679 show is going to be insane. I saw UM on 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.600 last Saturday. I saw last Friday. I saw the trailer, 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.720 the official trailer, and I saw most of the first 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:39.120 episode and half of the second episode, and it's it's 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.600 so much cooler than I even hoped, because there's a 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.400 there's a you know, a suspicion, maybe that of brand 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.280 or a franchise has been around as long as this 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:52.120 fun has and maybe there you know, explored every avenue 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.760 or every idea that could be you know, how much more, 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:59.080 how much more story can be told, and the interest 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.400 a lot because it's gonna be funny and dark and 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:09.680 modern and unexpectedly. I think um news stories to be 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.960 told for new characters. Old characters have more story to 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.839 be told too, So it's really kind of a great 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:20.800 mashup of awesomeness. Good for you. That's so exciting. When 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.160 is it start airing? I don't know the exact date. 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.120 I am imagining because of the nature of the show, 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:30.640 that will be sometime in October because of Halloween. Um. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.960 But Mike with men or to Io, Uh, we did 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.880 it two years ago. I've known Don Mancini he was 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.920 the creator of Chucky uh for thirties something years and 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.520 Alex Vincent to his a little Boy in the first 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.839 two Uh. He was seven when I met him. He's 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.040 here playing the same character at forty um. And so 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.319 it's like another homecome. I don't I've known Jennifer Tilly 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.920 since the eighties two. Both of us we're doing plays 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.199 at the l A Theater Center down town l A. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.120 Different plays in the same theater at the same time, 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.680 when we shared a dressing room. So I knew Jennifer 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.480 before either one of us was in the up the universe. So, um, 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.880 it's like it was like for us, you know, two 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.280 years ago, was coming home to people that have known 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.360 for a really long time. It was really safe environment 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:16.440 and really nostalgic for me, so exciting. We wanted to 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.160 have you back on the show because we had we 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.600 had you on a while back, but your character Emil 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:26.080 Emily Valentine hadn't debuted yet. So now she is out 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.959 in the open for everyone to adore, and you are 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.480 so cute on the show. I've forgotten how much I 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.559 loved your hair and your outfits, but most of all, 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.280 thank you. She wasn't much loved though she's she's she's 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.840 I think as much I'm aligned as she has loved. 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.120 But right, so, when you started the show, did you 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.319 know that you were coming on to sort of play 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.240 a stir? Did you know that your character was going 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:53.359 to be used as as you know that kind of provocateur. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.559 I did not, because, as you remember, how have you 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.920 watched them in real time? You're watching them like in sequence, 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.000 where you know what do you want? Right now? We're 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.160 not in too deep on Emily Valentine. I think you've 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.120 only been on two episodes so far. Okay, so I 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.040 read the first one. I did the audition for the 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.000 first one. I got it, and they were like, okay, great, 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.480 if it goes well, you could get up to ten more, 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.000 but shoot the first one and we'll see how it goes. 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.679 And so and the first one I really liked because 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.200 the sort of the moral of the story of the 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.319 first episode when she shows up is don't judge a 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.240 book by its cover. Everyone thinks she's a slut and 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.320 she dresses a different so she's a bad girl, and 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.640 ultimately she's not not she's a virgin, and she's kind 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:34.560 of a good kid. And I liked that because I 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.640 was that girl in high school too. I was super 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.680 punk rock in high school, and everybody thought that I 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:43.880 was um either stupid or doing drugs or slutty or something, 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:47.439 none of which were true. Um, And so I like that. 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.200 I like that don't judge a book by its cover thing. 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:53.079 So I was super upset when they ultimately went with 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.720 you can judge a book by its cover, you know. Um, 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.880 And I even tour I even called your dad. Is 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.120 kind of a story Jason telling me that I wasn't 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:05.760 plenty about the whole my desperate Valentine stuff, but you 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.760 haven't gotten to yet. But I Jason did me a 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.240 disservice and put me on the rare cell phone that 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.400 existed at that point in time, and you have me 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.160 call your dad to complain about the storyline, which isn't 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.600 what wait wait wait wait wait? So I didn't go 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.520 will what happened? Why did he Why did he tell 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:26.720 you to do that? Why didn't he call exactly exactly? Then? 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.680 I don't know, And it wasn't I guess it wasn't 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.920 his character that was that was the problem. So he's like, oh, 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:35.000 let's call right here. Here's the dicting things the phone 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:39.360 of mine face and I'm like, can I splay Darren Spelling? Please? 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.920 Like who's spelling? I'm Christina Alice. And your dad took 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.680 the call. He took the call, which is outrageous for 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.600 a guest star on a show to call somebody the 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:53.720 statue of Aaron Spelling to complain about the writing. Oh, 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:58.160 you know, rageous. And he was so super generous to me, 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.280 and he said, don't where you were going to redeem her? 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.560 And I said okay, okay. He's like yeah, and then 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:09.920 we're gonna give you a spinoff. And I was like, um, what, Yeah, 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.400 I'm not gonna spinoff. And I said, I don't know 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.000 what's happening right now. And he said have I ever 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.840 lied to you? And I said, I've never spoken to 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.640 you before, You've never had the opportunity to lie to 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:23.160 before because I'm just an asshole all the time apparently, 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:28.720 and he was like, uh no really. I was like, okay, bye, 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.920 and then he did. Emily Valentine was the original spinoff 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:41.360 character for Melro's Place, and Emily Valentine was the original 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.960 spinoff character Melrose Place. I took meetings with Darren up 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:50.520 with Darren uh Star and Duke Vincent and your dad 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.080 and they were a lot and you know, obviously all 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:56.760 the other powers that were um, and they were like, 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.120 here's the deal. You know, Emily's gonna move into this building, 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.920 and here's the other cares and what do you think. 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:06.400 I was like, that sounds great to me, um, And 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.200 then they offered me money that wasn't super fun. The 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.840 money was really bad, actually really really really like crazy bad. 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.960 And for me, I was like, Wow, everyone thinks I 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:17.600 got the job on that or two who because of 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.600 Jason which I met Jason Hunt or two and he 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.120 had nothing to do with me getting that job. Um. 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.440 But I had this vision of like if I did 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.120 Marrow's Place, that I was sort of selling my soul 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:33.880 to forever being considered, um, the spawn of Jason really, 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.480 you know. And I could envision that every like Emmy 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.960 Show or whatever, like Christine from Marrow's Place and Jason 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.560 Rono too will present the best actor thing and that 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.480 I would be forever tied to him in a way 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:50.360 that would ilegitimize me and I as an actress, that 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:56.080 was a self supporting, you know, individual and um, and 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:57.480 I felt like I should be paid a lot of 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.160 money to make that compromise in my life. And I know, 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.320 and then they created the Jake character and Grand Show 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:08.159 did it. So I wonder if, like Emily Valentine was 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:12.280 inspiration for like the Joe character. She was kind of alternative. No, 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.200 I think all those characters existed, uh with me that 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.480 that that universe already was. And I kind of, in 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.800 all fairness too, I'll tell you the truth, I felt 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:22.720 sort of like I was in a power seat because 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.440 it was really late in the season, and I think 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:26.920 I'm the only spin off character they have. Is nobody 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.320 else they can spin off. I have a I have 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.479 a like a power place. I can like stand here 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:33.800 and demand more money. How can they create a new 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.280 character like in two episodes and spend that person off, 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.159 which they did. You know that. You know Jake was 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.080 on the show for like what two episodes and they 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.439 spun them off, which is insane hot Damn, I have chills. 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.560 Emily Valentine on Melrose Place would have been iconic. Not 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:51.320 to rub it in, like you, you should have been 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.480 paid well. But I'm just saying, like that would have 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.280 been so good. It's not rubbing it in. It's not. 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.920 It's not a thing I regret. I told you why 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.159 I had took a position I did, and um, I 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.879 don't regret that at all. I was working and your 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.600 dad kept hiring me. Your dad, your dad is like 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.320 um Carol O'Connor for me, uh, in the in the 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.760 in my early acting world, they were both like like 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:19.480 godparents to me. They're both super They both tolerated my 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.600 being sort of inappropriate, like calling and complaining about writing. 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:27.000 They both tolerated my foul mouth. I would swear in 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.520 front of them both. I call your dad Aaron. I 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.600 called Carol Carol, which everybody else called your dad Mr. 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:37.359 Right and um, and they called Carol Mr O'Connor, and 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.280 I'm like Carol Aaron and both of them understood that 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.080 it wasn't disrespect and they both seemed to. They were 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.600 both really generous to me and really kind to me, 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.000 and I have nothing but very very warm thoughts about 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:52.439 both of them because of it. My dad loved you. 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.280 But I just can't get past Melrose Place would have 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.960 been so good. I was like outside of being like 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:01.399 like in the whole world of it, like, I was 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:04.800 also a really big fandom placed out and I wasn't 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.200 really like that's not my kind of TV. So, you know, 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:09.640 you know, I'm happy to get work when I can 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.239 get work. But I always say about one of the 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:16.119 greatest misconceptions about actors is that their resume necessarily reflects 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.720 their taste in in cinema or in television, which it doesn't. 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.840 It reflects the jobs you were offered, you know, it doesn't. 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:24.920 I'm not like Kate Blanchet, but I can't. I can't 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:27.399 pick my projects based on my taste in things, and 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.919 most actors can't. So there's a lots of my resume 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:32.280 that I really really love, and there's a lot of 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:34.960 stuff in my resume that I wouldn't have watched. I 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:36.600 wasn't in it, And a lot of my resume that 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:38.520 I still haven't seen a lot of stuff I've done, 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:42.480 and I haven't even Why do people think that you 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.280 got the job because of Jason? Like I, if I 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:47.520 were just a fan, I would have assumed, oh my god, 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:50.199 they met on set and fell in love. Well, you know, 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.520 the Internet, I think has revealed to all of us 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.840 that people are really, really, really mean and not necessarily 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:01.200 particularly imaginative or clever. So yeah, it's just easy to 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:03.879 It's also I just watched this documentary Cult that changes 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:07.080 everything about women and in Hollywood and women directors and 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:09.600 how much the percentage of the pie, whether it's directing 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:12.760 Pie or producing Pie or acting Pie, how even in cartoons, 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:16.879 even in Disney movies, animation, how how little female representation 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:20.080 there is and how much more male so there is. 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.960 So I mean, it's a male dominated world and it's 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:26.240 certainly a male dominated industry, and so women are sort 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:29.120 of written off, as you know, And so I think 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:32.840 it's easy to right a girl like me, a little 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:35.560 unknown girl that's like it looks like a little you know, 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.800 scamp um. How could I have any kind of power? 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:42.879 It must have come from Jason h which is just 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:47.080 a sexist thing. It's a sexist reality that we live in. Right. Wait, 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.200 did you guys, like we were talking about this when 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:53.080 we watched your first episode, and we like we knew 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:54.840 you guys as a couple when you guys met and 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:57.040 fell in love in person. You guys were always so 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.760 great together. But Jen and I were saying when as 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:03.080 we were watching that first episode, sorry, my glasses are broken, um, 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.200 that we couldn't see the chemistry, the chemistry as far 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:08.280 as I mean, as far as the two of us 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:11.920 as human beings, the characters I think characters like sometimes 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:13.960 you can watch and be like, oh, I know that 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.000 these two were together off camera, like you could see it, 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:19.400 even like if they're not playing romantic with somebody else 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:23.080 at the time when you first started, Yeah, I was 0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.840 living with somebody else for who's again still my friend 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.760 much as Jason is. Um, Yeah, I was living with 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.560 somebody else named Jamie who has a great creep truck 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:35.080 in l a blackflower. He and his wife to a 0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:41.280 creep and then she's Parisian and he lived in Paris 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:43.120 forever when they got three French kids. They're in Paris 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:47.280 right now, but they had the food trucks in l a, Um, yeah, 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:48.960 I was living with somebody else, so you wouldn't have 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.840 gotten any behind the scenes chemistry with him because there 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:56.159 wasn't any yet. It was Jason still with Robin. Know 0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:58.720 when you guys met, Now when did it kind of 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:03.040 cross over to off camera way later, way later, like 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:10.200 after euphor yeah, yes, this part we didn't know that 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:12.840 we couldn't remember. So yeah, Jamie and I broke up 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.920 during the course of the show early episodes, and then yeah, 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:20.080 and then inappropriately quickly I became a couple with Jason. 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:24.080 It happened very fast and uh, very fast, like two 0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:25.680
