WEBVTT - Some Time With...Adria Later (Part 1) 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:22.560 Hey, Fanorto's welcome back to How Rude Tanaritos. Today we 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.320 have a very special guest on the podcast. She played 0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:29.160 such a formative role in our childhood as she was 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.600 our studio teacher for all eight seasons on Full House. 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:37.400 She was also the magic behind Michelle's cute catchphrases and reactions. 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.000 If you've ever wondered how did they get Michelle to 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.320 do that, well, today you are going to hear the 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.720 answers to that and many other questions. I think it's 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:47.720 safe to say that Full House would not be the 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:49.639 show we all know in love without her. 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:51.600 Please welcome to the pod. 0:00:52.080 --> 0:01:01.160 Adria later Hi, Adria, hid Hi, how are you? 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:02.560 What a gift this is? 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.280 As soon as you agreed to do this, I messaged 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.160 Jody immediately. I was all choked up, and I was like, 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.160 what a gift that we get to share Adria with 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.640 all of our listeners and catch up and share all 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.320 these memories from our Full House days. 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.840 Great memories. Probably you know, I've been in the business 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.000 over forty five years. I was retired for a while. 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:27.319 I'm Sami retired, but full House is the standout, most 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.440 incredible experience I had in my entire career watch. 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:31.400 They Get to Grow Up. 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:33.760 You know you were, yeah, Babe, Jody, I think you 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.560 were five going out or you were six five. 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:37.760 I just turned five. 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.560 Actually, yeah, you were in kindergarten and I think after 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.400 a very short time they skipped you into first grade because. 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.560 You Yeah, I think I did. I did a total 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.520 of like two or three days in kindergarten, and they 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.280 were like, you should probably go into first grade. But 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.960 I'd started the show right at the same time I 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:53.880 started school, so I like never had a you know, 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.920 quote unquote fully normal school experience. 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:00.000 Right, I remember. But you used to read the scripts 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.360 old in our script readings on Monday m h and 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.640 at five years old, you knew not only your part, 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.440 but you were reading everybody else's lines. I mean's incredible. 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.400 Yeah, that's sort of the That sort of seems to 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:14.600 be the going comment is that I knew and you know, 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.160 look how I turned out. I don't even know what 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.000 I'm doing these days. Now. 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.680 Did you come onto the show right from the very 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.880 beginning or was it a couple of episodes in I 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.240 forget when we started with you. 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:29.560 My first episode was episode three of season one. It 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.519 was the back to school, first day of kindergarten for 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.880 Stephanie and the first day of I guess it was 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.960 fifth grade for DJ and Kimmy. So that was I 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:40.760 was there from almost the very beginning. 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.960 And did you know from the very first episode that 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:45.960 this was going to be an ongoing part for you 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.280 or was it going to be reoccurring? How to know? 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:48.840 No, it was. 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.120 It was supposed to be just a one time appearance 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.960 and then it turned into like eight years in my 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.320 entire life basically, so well, we had none of us 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:01.200 had any idea the phenomenon that house will become. 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:02.720 We had no clue that first season. 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.040 No, so are you. I know our audience would love 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.160 to hear a little bit of like your background and 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.960 about what you know studio teachers do? I mean, so 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.160 many of our fans out there have heard us mention you. 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.080 You know, you know our studio teacher Adria Later and 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.240 she worked with the babies, And how did you start 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.799 in this business? What I mean, I've I've bragged about 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:23.560 you and been like you worked on like et and 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:28.040 all this really little stuff because you you are so 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:32.919 well known in this business for being an incredible studio teacher. 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.160 But you know on sets, it's not just about being 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.440 a teacher. It's also about being the welfare worker and 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.680 making sure that the kids are taking care of getting 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.960 their breaks, all this stuff, and you know you have 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:46.960 to be the one to jump in and go no, no, no, no, 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.560 we're done. The kid needs you know, that's it. Their 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.280 time is up. They are turning into a pumpkin and 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.200 need to go. But I would just love to hear 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.320 how you got into this and sort of your your 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.440 adventures up until full House, and then you know, of 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.360 course why we were the best. We'd love to hear 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:02.960 that best. 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.640 I actually was a school teacher by profession and substituting 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.480 at the time because I had a little boy. And 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.680 I found out that they used teachers in Hollywood, and 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.520 I called the phone number that hired teachers at the time, 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.479 and they told me there were no openings. I asked 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.320 for an application. They wouldn't give me one. They said, 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.520 call back. We don't give applications out we have too 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.880 many calls every day. So about two weeks later, I 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.920 got dressed in a business suit and I went down 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.640 to the Board of Education into the office that handled 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.919 studio teachers without an appointment and I asked to speak 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.440 the head of the department, and he came out and said, 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.240 you're here without an appointment. I said, I'm happy to 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.000 sit here as long as it takes for you know, 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.560 when you have the time to speak to me, I 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.320 would like to speak to you about studio teaching. And 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.080 he said, come into my office and we talked, and 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.800 I told him about my credentials and my experience teaching, 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:53.400 and he said, all right, I'm going to give you 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.800 an application and we definitely will call you. You fill it 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.479 out right here in the office and we'll call you. 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.560 And about two weeks later, the first call came in 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.800 and it was for The Bad News Bears with Walter 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.880 matth Awen tatimonial, where I assigned on a seniority basis. 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.279 But that time nobody wanted to work with ten little 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.960 boys out in Granada Hills in the middle of the 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.479 summer on a film. I got that film. Then I 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.800 did Bad News Bears two. I was asked to do 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:22.280 Bad News Bears three, and my career sort of took off. 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.279 Shortly after that, I got a phone call from my 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:29.360 office saying, there's a there's a director who normally does 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.279 his films out of state. But they're going to do 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.040 a movie here in Los Angeles, you need to keep 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.760 a very low profile. He's not particularly interested in working 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.120 with studio teachers. So the assignment was for a film 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.440 called nineteen forty one, starring John Belucci and Dan Aproyd, 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:49.120 directed by Steven Spielberg. On that film, I had three 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.640 little boys. I was on that film for twelve weeks, 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.360 I think, and at the end of the film I 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.520 used to bring the little boys hot chocolate. We were 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.839 shooting out the beach for I think four weeks. We 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.320 were out there every late afternoon into early evening, and 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.480 I'd bring the little guy's hot chocolate. And one day 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.320 I brought hot chocolate unto the set and Stephen was 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.040 talking to these little guys and he said, oh, are 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:11.840 you one of the moms, And I said, no, I'm 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.840 your studio teacher. He said, would you bring me hot 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.040 chocolate too? When you bring them hot chocolate. I said, 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.479 I'm happy to bring your chocolate. And at the end 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.360 of the film he said, if I ever do movies 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.920 again with children, I'm going to call you. And about 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.000 a year later I got a call from the production 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.080 office that Steven was doing a movie which turned out. 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:31.680 To be et Wow. 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.880 So then we really took off from there, did a 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.679 lot of features, and I ended up on Full House 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.960 because Barbara Cameron had called me. I had done a 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.800 commercial with Candae and she wanted someone to do the 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.440 pilot for Full House, and I said, I'll do the pilot, 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.520 but I really don't do television because I sort of 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:53.719 you either work on TV or you work in the 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.080 future film world. And I was writing for films, and 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.560 I said, I'll do the pilot, but we'll find you 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.840 someone else. So if this show were to go, well, 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:06.960 the rest is history. With all of you guys, the 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.000 show went, and I stayed with it for the eight 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:11.120 years that you were on the air. 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:24.640 I remember you talking about working with Steven Spielberg. I 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.560 remember when they shot Hook on Sony that you would 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:32.280 bring the Lost Boys over and we would get to 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.200 go to set and somewhere. I had a gold toabloon 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.680 from that chip. I don't have it anymore. 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:39.400 I have one. 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.720 You have, all of course you do, but I yeah, 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.000 I had one, and I and I don't know where 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.040 it went, but I had stuck it in my pocket. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.440 But I mean just so many memories. But you, from 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:58.040 the very beginning, Adriot were like a pivotal role in 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:03.160 our growing up. And you know, you you were like 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:08.360 one of the moms. You absolutely looked out for us. 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.200 And like you know, the story of how you got 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.280 in on studio teaching, I'm like, of course you did, 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.640 because Adria doesn't take no for an answer like that. 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:22.120 That is one thing. And we like you made sure 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:27.080 that the kids well being was always a priority. And 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.360 you know we had a great set and producers and 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.960 all of that too, but you know, schedules are demanding 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:33.920 and things, and you know, and everybody will just kind 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:35.160 of go, ah, well it's fine, we can you know, 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.840 push that, but it was like, nope, this is it. 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:43.280 And and you, you just like your presence there was 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:47.199 so important to us. I remember field trips which we 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.199 didn't get to go on. You know, as kids working 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.199 on a TV show, you miss all of the quote 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:56.000 unquote normal kind of kids stuff of field trips and 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.040 you know, movies and you know, classroom pets and stuff. 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:04.440 But we had, we had fish, we had oh gosh, 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.680 I mean just so many cool things that you always 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.360 made sure happened for us. 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.480 Do you remember that we took a field trip to 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.679 hers Castle and you got stung by a bee. 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.880 I do, oh oh, do I remember it. It instilled 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.160 in me a lifelong fear. But what I've eventually learned 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.120 in my adult life is I was stung by a 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.320 yellow jacket, which is a wasp. So it was the 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.800 I was putting all of this on bees. My whole 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.520 bees are lovely bees. I have no qualms with them, 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.240 so anyway, but I remember getting stung on the palm 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.800 and Barbara Cameron was like, we need to get mud, 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.280 and we were like what, and she like, scoops from 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:48.040 some mud I believe from like the parking lot or 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.439 something like. We just poured some water, made some mud 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.040 and slapped it on my hand because she was like, 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:54.920 it'll help pull the toxins out. And then we had 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.880 to go find like an urgent care or something. But 0:09:58.000 --> 0:09:59.920 I do I remember going to hers Castle. I went 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.720 there recently the last few years with my husband, and 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.840 I hadn't been since we had been, and I like, 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:11.160 so many memories came flooding back of that trip, and 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.800 I think we were probably wearing our full house sweaters, 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:15.560 were we not? Or was that? 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:15.679 No? 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.839 That was the that was the San Diego Zoo trip. 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.800 We had some we had some wonderful, wonderful trips and 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.560 able to go on location as well. We did a 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.920 location one time in Hawaii. Yeah, and then we were 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:31.439 we were at Disney World in we didn't yeah there. 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:35.480 I remember doing I remember I think, uh was Laura 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.840 Gary with us at the time or was it Elise, 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.680 But I think we had had brought on a couple 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.520 of other teachers too, because we now had like a 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.920 high school and a middle school or a you know, 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:51.600 different credentials. But I remember doing every like afternoon at 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.880 our hotel in Disney World, we'd be like shooting or 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:56.360 doing whatever, and then we would have to have our 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.840 school hours and we'd be in like the little lounge 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.800 on the you know, the whatever concierge floor, and they'd 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.360 be serving hot chocolate chip cookies and all, you know, 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.000 and it was like, cool, We're going to study and 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.360 like get some hot cookies. It was. It was great, 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.240 but I think I was pretty I was heartbroken over 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:18.320 going to Disney World because it was the same week 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.880 as my sixth grade science camp and I had to 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.200 miss my sixth grade science camp trip, which was the 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:29.120 thing that like everyone looked forward to, and it was 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.240 and I just remember my mom being like, one day 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.360 you will realize that you got the better option, you know. 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.600 But it was like that normal sea and so you know, 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.080 that sense of like doing what all the other kids did. 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.320 So getting to go on these field trips and like 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.680 I mean even going to Alvera Street, you know for 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:50.080 like back to Spanish, Yeah, to practice Spanish, you know, 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.160 like stuff like that was just it was so important 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:58.600 to us. And you know, pretty soon you started working 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.520 with Ashley and Mary Kate. I mean you were there 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.480 as sort of the baby wrangler. Had you had you 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.319 had prior experience in wrangling babies, No, I mean other 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.720 than your own, only my own, other than Matt, only 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:11.120 my own. 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.040 And when I came onto Full House, all of your producers, 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.479 Jeff Franklin and all his writing staff, all his producers 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.160 were for the most part single guys. I don't even 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.760 we had any females on the writing staff at that time. 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.000 Probably not. It was the lady. It was the eighties. 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.240 It was at the pilot. They were eight months old. 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.360 And so Jeff or one of the producers, came to 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.120 me and said, so can you get him to crawl 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.160 across the floor over there and pick that up. I said, 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.720 they don't crawl yet much, so they don't. They don't 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.720 crawl so all during. 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.840 Yours and I love when Jeff would be like, so, 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:48.480 that's not going to happen. You're right, No, no it's 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.960 not Jeff, I love you, but no, it's not happening. 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.920 Working as an advisor, you know, to these guys, being 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.520 a mom and being a mom a young child, I 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.840 was able to tell them little things. One of the 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:03.400 things that came up the fact that the Tanners were 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.199 in a house with their father because the mom passed away, 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.080 and that was uncle Jesse and their friend Joey. I 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.000 went to Jeff Franklin one time and I said, you 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:16.280 know what's interesting about this dynamic is I'm divorced. I 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:20.000 have a little boy and he was playing out in 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.200 the street with all of his friends, and a couple 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.920 of his friends were teasing him. They said, well, you 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.320 know what, you don't have a mom that lives in 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.920 your house. You only have I'm sorry, you don't have 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.600 a dad that lives in your house. You only have 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.840 a mom. And I told my son at the time, 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.640 I know, but you have an uncle Todd who lives 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.839 with us, because my brother, after college, moved into my 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.320 house and lived with me for a couple of years 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.240 while he saved up money to buy his own place. 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.319 So he was kind of like he was the coach 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.640 of the block. He took care of all the kids 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.320 out there. After work, he would go out and play 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.160 with him. So I told Jeff that, you know, Matt 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.120 was criticized because he didn't have a dad in the house, 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.920 And I said, and so they wrote that into a script. 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.000 I think one of you came home from school, you know, 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.320 someone had teased you and the remark was, well, you 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.280 may not have a mom in your house, but you 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.040 have an uncle Jesse, and you have a Joey and 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.000 Star luckier than anybody else that goes to your school. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.400 And so there were things in my life that I 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.800 was able to point out to Jeff. The same thing 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.480 with when Mary, Kate and Ashley. When Michelle was going 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.720 to go from a crib to a big girl bed, 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.280 I said, well, when I moved my son, I put 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.680 pillows all around the side of his bed because I 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:27.720 was so afraid he was. 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.360 Gonna Oh yeah, it's such a huge thing. You're like, 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.240 you're so little, you can't be in a big It's 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:33.840 the same thing when they start driving, You're like, you're 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:35.680 still a baby. You can't even sleep in a big 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:36.160 girl bed. 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:38.600 So that, you know, So I was able to just 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:42.640 take experiences from my own life and point them out 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.600 to the producers, and they were able to incorporate some 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.000 of those ideas into your show. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:49.960 Jeff talked about that we had Jeff on the show 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.480 a couple of weeks ago, which was so much fun, 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:56.080 and he really talked about how full house like, how 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.480 he would talk to us, the kids and our moms 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.440 and you like, because he said he was like, I 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:06.520 knew I didn't I had no kids, I had no experience. 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.640 He's like, so I knew I could write, you know, 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.480 these guys that had no experience raising kids. He's like, 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.480 but I did, you know writing for the kids. I 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.280 wanted to know what kids were really like. He was like, 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.520 I hadn't really you know, hung out with kids since 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:22.280 I was one, and so I but it's so cool 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.400 because we do see so much of all of our 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:31.280 own experiences and influences and life incidents and things that 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.400 Jeff and these producers really listened to and they were like, 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:38.440 what's it like? And you know, you or our moms 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.680 or we would be like, oh, you know, it's it's 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:42.560 like this, this is what's going on in our school life, 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.400 or this is you know, what we're into, and it 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:48.920 became part of the show. And it was like, rarely, 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:54.000 I think, do you truly rarely do you have producers 0:15:54.080 --> 0:16:01.080 on a show who listen to the kids and their 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:05.800 families and the studio teachers as much as they did 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:09.800 on Full House. Absolutely, really, absolutely, it's really really rare. 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.400 Usually the kids are like the side dish or they're 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.720 just kind of expected to do whatever and go along. 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.000 But it was really it was a give and take 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:22.560 about how did they make the kids the best versions 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.320 of themselves on set and how could they support us 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:26.400 being normal kids? 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.960 Offset right, It was such an incredible experience, and you 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.520 know the fact that we had your three moms, I 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:36.040 mean Andrea with your mom, Sherry and Janice and Barbara, 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:41.160 it's an extraordinary combination that all magically came together and 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.920 made Full Housewood. It was you know, I really I 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.680 think the moms had a big part, yeah, in making 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.880 that all come together so beautifully. And one of the 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.840 things I noticed I remember about the show compared to 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.480 one thousand other projects that I've worked on in my 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.920 forty some odd years, when we would do a rehearsal 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:02.840 and then you know, they say cut and it was 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.920 like a break. Like the guys wouldn't just pop off 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.080 to their dressing rooms. They would stay on the set. 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.640 They would talk to you little ones, Yeah, play with you. 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:14.679 I remember John Stamos very wisely, it would sit in 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.439 a chair rather than going off to his dressing room 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.879 and say give me one of the twins, because he 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:23.280 wanted to create some kind of connection with the little ones. 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.120 I mean, yeah, he set that up I think from 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.280 the beginning with you and Candace and Andrea. But yeah, 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.400 working with a nine month old, a ten month old, 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:32.480 it takes work. 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.520 It's a lot and getting them comfortable with like, hey, 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.520 these are people that you you know that you have 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.639 to look like on camera that you're not screaming and 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:41.879 like who are these strangers? 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:42.200 Now? 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:46.920 What I do From the very beginning, I told all 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:50.399 of you, including the producers, that when Mary, Kate and 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.399 Ashley were little, I was going to have them learn 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.360 you learn your names by your character names, not your 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.880 real name, because I wanted them to think of Uncle 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.600 Jesse was willing Uncle jas See, and Danny was close 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:03.800 enough to Daddy that if they said that that word. 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.840 And so I taught them your character names, not your 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.640 real names. And I think, well they were about three 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:12.600 years old. Mary Kate came up to me one day, 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.200 sort of in a little side secret, and she said, 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:17.280 I know Uncle Jesse's real name. 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:21.560 She said, of course, Mary Kate did. That seems like 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:23.359 a very Mary Kate thing. I know something. 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:28.680 Oh, you're right, that's his real name. But for years, 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.520 for the first two three years of Full House, we 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.520 referred to all of you guys by your character names. 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.600 I think we did that on Fuller too, with Dashel 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.120 and Fox. I mean, you kind of have to when 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.600 they're little, because you can't be like, Okay, during this 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.600 period of time, I need you to call me by 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:47.560 this name, and then when they're not doing it, you 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.800 can call it like that. No, that's right, get that 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:53.199 with a baby. So but yeah, I remember when they 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:54.280 kind of found out too, they. 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.520 Were like wait them, they were finally let in on 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:58.080 the secret. 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.280 It was so interesting for that to go on as 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.119 many years as it did, because you don't see it 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.960 so much with adults, but with children, you see such 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:11.560 a change in development, you know. I mean, I mean 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.760 you went from five years old plus, you know, I 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.199 mean you were like a teenager of preteens. 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:18.280 Yeah, I was thirteen when it ended. 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:23.119 Andrea was, you know, graduating high school, and Campus was 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:26.520 graduating as well. It's just you see such a change 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.160 in development of a human being. You're on a show 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.000 like that for that length of time with children. 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.560 Yeah, well, yeah, Jeff talked about, you know, we were 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:35.880 one of the first shows to like raise a baby 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:39.320 on television and to not in between seasons, you know, 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:44.040 jump the kid from you know, an infant to all 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:45.960 of a sudden, there are toddler. You know, we really 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:47.840
