Speaker 1: It's been thirty thirty what thirty six years? Thirty seven years?
Speaker 2: Amazing?
Speaker 4: So how old were you when I was trying to

Speaker 4: I remember meeting your mom and oh yeah, my whole
Speaker 4: week was following you around to get your mannerisms.
Speaker 3: I mean, all of us. It was so great.
Speaker 1: I remember that I was so I was thirteen during
Speaker 1: that episode. Jody must have been what seven.
Speaker 2: Ish, Yeah, I think it was about seven, Yeah.
Speaker 1: About seven, And I remember, yeah, the three or four
Speaker 1: adult versions of us working with us, trying to, like
Speaker 1: you said, get the lines down, the intonation, the mannerism.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, oh, I remember that.
Speaker 4: And I've done in person asia impressions and people through
Speaker 4: the years in my stand up in comedy, but not
Speaker 4: that I'm precious, but you.
Speaker 3: Know, just a little business pieces. But it was all
Speaker 3: older people, but not you know, a young lady or child.
Speaker 3: It was fun and old.
Speaker 4: Jeff Franklin asked me he was a friend back in
Speaker 4: the day, and I went out with them a couple
Speaker 4: of times, like everybody else in Hollywood.
Speaker 3: That did not help my career. I loved Jeff.

Speaker 3: my kid, brilliant. And I have a book.
Speaker 4: That your memoir, Ronie and the inside and I will
Speaker 4: love the testimonial. Andrea, it was I passed Rona to
Speaker 4: play Kimmy Gibler in Full House because I thought she
Speaker 4: was hilarious and headed for greatness.
Speaker 3: I was right.
Speaker 4: Jeffry, creator Full House, and Full House.
Speaker 3: Good to do that. He was really sweet. So you see,
Speaker 3: you've been part of my life too, So that's what
Speaker 3: makes me so happy.
Speaker 4: With all those sitcoms and guest shows that I did
Speaker 4: through the eighties and nineties, definitely Full House was the
Speaker 4: one that people remember and they talk about, Oh, I
Speaker 4: remember that episode with the kids grown up. So it's
Speaker 4: really funny to get a couple of things I've done
Speaker 4: that stand out over everything else. I had one line
Speaker 4: in Spaceballs, then with you guys, and of course you
Speaker 4: know other shows have done but that they people remember,
Speaker 4: and when the residuals come instead of recents like most
Speaker 4: of my shows.
Speaker 3: I think it's like around eight to ten dollars, so right.
Speaker 5: Sometimes it's sometimes it's a nice little surprise. Sometimes you
Speaker 5: might be able to buy yourself a coffee now that
Speaker 5: ball are right there, not anyone else but you, right right,
Speaker 5: only if it's like just a just a black brewed
Speaker 5: coffee these days.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but I have.
Speaker 4: To congratulate you guys, because I know you probably didn't
Speaker 4: know that at your tender young age is but to
Speaker 4: be on a show that is truly part of pop
Speaker 4: culture and American history, much like when I grew up
Speaker 4: in I would before. I mean, I watched the reruns
Speaker 4: of Lucy. But that's what you guys are like, is iconic?
Speaker 4: Is I love Lucy?
Speaker 3: And then of course growing up with Barbara Eden.
Speaker 4: When I met Barbia from My Dream of GI, I
Speaker 4: almost fainted and I interviewed her many times but she
Speaker 4: was so sweet.
Speaker 3: But you all, I mean, that's the kind show.
Speaker 4: I'm sitting here with two young ladies that I work
Speaker 4: with because I'm in another industry.
Speaker 3: Give it back in acting though.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, they're like, oh my gosh, I grew up
Speaker 4: with them I loved and I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Oh, it's I mean, it really is crazy to think,
Speaker 5: like how much of an impact. I mean, we talk
Speaker 5: about this all the time, how much of an impact
Speaker 5: Full House had, and then obviously still coming back with
Speaker 5: Fuller House. But not only that, but like you said,
Speaker 5: this is one of the roles that you get recognized
Speaker 5: for often. It's yeah, so many guest stars have come
Speaker 5: back and said this is the thing that people know
Speaker 5: me as or this is the and it's been like
Speaker 5: one episode or maybe two episodes, and they're like.
Speaker 2: This is what I get recognized for.
Speaker 3: Because people are good.
Speaker 2: They were just so excited about the show.
Speaker 4: It meant a lot because for me, for so many reasons,
Speaker 4: getting cast well at the time I was doing stand
Speaker 4: I started doing stand up in like eighty three eighty.
Speaker 3: Four, so I knew Dave and I knew.
Speaker 4: I still can't keep me on that, yeah, loss, but
Speaker 4: but I knew Dave, and I mean I just knew
Speaker 4: them from the stand you know, you get to the
Speaker 4: improv and the laugh actually comedy store and seeing them there,
Speaker 4: and I dated for a long time a stand up
Speaker 4: so that was kind of part of the group. So
Speaker 4: it was just very cool the set with them, and
Speaker 4: I was making my way in a world where there
Speaker 4: wasn't still too many women.
Speaker 5: Now, I was gonna say that stand uphold is not
Speaker 5: u there's not a there's not a lot of women
Speaker 5: in it, but we once you kind of find you
Speaker 5: and back then even more specifically really bad.
Speaker 4: It's very much big hair and boobs and they.
Speaker 5: Well, and that was kind of it was like you
Speaker 5: kind of had to do that to be like, I'm
Speaker 5: going to get in the door with this and then
Speaker 5: be funny on the other you know, you know what
Speaker 5: to do with me.
Speaker 4: But as long as I was making the audience laugh,
Speaker 4: you know, I wasn't you know. I knew that you
Speaker 4: had to win the women over first and then they're
Speaker 4: gonna but but you know, I mean when people told
Speaker 4: me I couldn't do it, then I'm like, Okay, I'm
Speaker 4: going to do it anyway. I'm so I love doing
Speaker 4: stand up and I love comedy and sitcom always my
Speaker 4: favorite thing. And to this day, it was my dream
Speaker 4: when I moved up to LA was to get that,
Speaker 4: you know, to have that sitcom.
Speaker 2: Sitcom life is great.
Speaker 5: I always say it's the most nine to five of
Speaker 5: this business, you know what I mean. If you can
Speaker 5: get a sitcom that last review years, you're like, oh,
Speaker 5: it's kind of the sweet spot.
Speaker 4: It really is the best of everything because you were
Speaker 4: hurt for a week and then you put on a
Speaker 4: live play and so you've got the theater part, you've
Speaker 4: got the TV part, and back then before all the
Speaker 4: you know, everything's streaming TV.
Speaker 3: I mean, that was the watch everything.
Speaker 4: And I always when I moved to LA, I moved
Speaker 4: there for television and.
Speaker 3: Not film, and then I ended up, you.
Speaker 4: Know, hosting films on USA up all night and it's
Speaker 4: so funny. I could have done all those horror films
Speaker 4: and all those B films because of all the.
Speaker 3: Producers that came to the show. And I was like, no,
Speaker 3: I just want to do a sitcom.
Speaker 5: Right, You're like, now, I don't want to scream. I
Speaker 5: just want to be funny for people that don't know you.
Speaker 5: You're an actress, you're a comedian, you're a writer, you're
Speaker 5: an incredible entrepreneur. I mean, the list just goes on.
Speaker 5: You've really accomplished so much in your career. It's really incredible.
Speaker 5: And you've been around for you know, since the eighties
Speaker 5: doing this successfully. And I want to go back to
Speaker 5: the very beginning and like talk a little bit of
Speaker 5: what age did you know that you wanted to be
Speaker 5: on a sitcom?
Speaker 2: Or no, what age did you know you wanted to
Speaker 2: be an actor? You know, was it did you have
Speaker 2: family support or was that what?
Speaker 4: And probably you all might have the same similar stories.
Speaker 4: I was a shy child, so I actually pushed myself
Speaker 4: to do things and and and actually you were really
Speaker 4: helped me through a lot of things later on. I'll
Speaker 4: jump ahead for a minute, because you all were in
Speaker 4: that same PURSU were stars, but the.
Speaker 3: Pree me too movement right right.
Speaker 4: If it wasn't for a humor and me cracking jokes,
Speaker 4: it would have been a lot harder for me because
Speaker 4: nothing turned off a guy start trying to make a
Speaker 4: past and making jokes.
Speaker 3: So I had this outward look.
Speaker 4: Of sexy or the bowhem shelfing. I ended up using
Speaker 4: it because I couldn't fight it. I could never play
Speaker 4: the girl next door, so I just went with it eventually.
Speaker 4: But the truth of matter is I was nothing like
Speaker 4: that girl. I mean, I wanted to be the smart
Speaker 4: dump one. But the humor is what got me through
Speaker 4: a lot of I mean.
Speaker 3: I didn't have a lot of moments. I never took
Speaker 3: a meeting in a hotel room.
Speaker 4: Nothing wasn't asked, but it was you know, I was
Speaker 4: always I always had someone with me. If I didn't
Speaker 4: know what was going on, was sure an audition. But
Speaker 4: going back to original series, I started from New Orleans
Speaker 4: and I always I started doing commercials and then I
Speaker 4: entered pageants because I wanted to become a choreographer. So
Speaker 4: I actually did it a dance experience, I mean the
Speaker 4: talent portion I start of winning and one was Louisiana.
Speaker 4: One different pageants and one thing led to another, and
Speaker 4: then I'm asked to do local acting, and then that
Speaker 4: bug bit me. And then when I went to college,
Speaker 4: I stayed in school. I say that in town. My
Speaker 4: brother in New Orleans went to Loyola and kept acting.
Speaker 4: Then in communications, I didn't know if I want to
Speaker 4: be a newscaster and actress.
Speaker 3: And then through a weird thing.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you this, this is kind of a funny story,
Speaker 4: and you're probably a kick out of that time period.
Speaker 4: I post for Playboy with all my clothes on.
Speaker 3: In nineteen seventy eight. It was insane.
Speaker 4: They came through New Orleans doing Girls of the New South,
Speaker 4: and I was just curious and wanted to meet a
Speaker 4: Playboy photographer. So then I get in front of my
Speaker 4: own I know I'm wasting your time. I'm not taking
Speaker 4: off any of my clothes. He goes, No, we always
Speaker 4: shoot people with their clothes on. I don't know if
Speaker 4: you don't make the magazine. If we makes it, you're
Speaker 4: going to get on two hundred and seventy five dollars.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, okay, So I shot, you know, in
Speaker 4: a very southern New Orleans setting. It made the magazine.
Speaker 4: I was raining as a queen of something social society,
Speaker 4: not not a booty queen, but like something my parents
Speaker 4: have put up mine for just there in New Orleans,
Speaker 4: right right, They de queened me because of the connotation
Speaker 4: of being in the magazine I had all.
Speaker 5: My great I mean, that was what happened. I mean,
Speaker 5: I mean with the who was it Vanessa?
Speaker 2: Yes, miss yes, who.
Speaker 3: Won with America? Yes, but she closed not that.
Speaker 2: That mattered, but she right, But still yeah, it was
Speaker 2: that was it. And I mean that was the thing.
Speaker 5: If you were, you know, if you didn't fit into
Speaker 5: the box that people wanted you to, or you were
Speaker 5: you know, especially too sexy or do this or too
Speaker 5: then you that's it.
Speaker 4: You're not absolutely And that was down South. Well, I
Speaker 4: guess I've always had a little mischief in my blood.
Speaker 4: And the guy that had was head of the Floral
Speaker 4: Trail Society of New Orleans, well he was running for
Speaker 4: public office. So I had just graduated from college and
Speaker 4: I threw my hat in the ring and ran against him.
Speaker 4: Initially it was just to irritate love it.
Speaker 2: I love this, this is all to it.
Speaker 4: And I lost five hundred votes, and then I'm I
Speaker 4: think I'm a politician. So I applied for law school,
Speaker 4: got in, and then I just took a break. I'm like,
Speaker 4: I really want to go to LA And I asked
Speaker 4: my parents, can I just go there for three months?
Speaker 4: And I went to l A enrolled in the American
Speaker 4: Academy of Dramatic Arts because my parents had to see me.
Speaker 3: In a school setting.
Speaker 4: And then I guys are so young, but you'll remember,
Speaker 4: I think I got cast in a Bob Hope special
Speaker 4: that of Happy Days, and things happened really fast for me.
Speaker 4: And that was it twenty six years later until my
Speaker 4: first love, first kiss, First Everything reached out to me
Speaker 4: through classmates dot com. Van Fagan, my first boyfriend from
Speaker 4: Junior High from New Orleans.
Speaker 5: Wow, and we talk about Junior High all the time
Speaker 5: on the show and memory First.
Speaker 3: Love, First Love. So here I'm dating all these.
Speaker 4: I was with a really talented comic for many years,
Speaker 4: and I hid behind my boyfriend. I kind of used
Speaker 4: them as shields, like I'm taking my boyfriend to you know.
Speaker 4: So that was probably good or bad. But I never married.
Speaker 4: I just never felt I found the right person did.
Speaker 4: I would picture my clothes in their house and nothing
Speaker 4: ever fit or my I just it didn't Mark and
Speaker 4: I'm really and I really was shot I comedy. I
Speaker 4: pushed myself to, you know, to do that, and actually
Speaker 4: it did help for many reasons.
Speaker 3: You know. It just it put me inside.
Speaker 5: I find a lot I mean a lot of comedians
Speaker 5: tend to It's it's interesting because there can be so
Speaker 5: big and so you know, on stage, and then you
Speaker 5: oftentimes you meet them and they're a little more quiet
Speaker 5: or a little more reserved, or you know, just not
Speaker 5: quite as overly friendly or whatever.
Speaker 2: No comics tend to be people who.
Speaker 5: Are like very much in here the whole time, and
Speaker 5: then like they can let it out and then they're like, okay,
Speaker 5: now back it's in front of the mic.
Speaker 3: It's in front of the mic. You had this power
Speaker 3: to be anything.
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like kind of my brother, behind of
Speaker 2: my right.
Speaker 4: I would it just it was just very free and
Speaker 4: I started an improv in the party Olympics plass.
Speaker 3: I love comedy and I loved physical comedy.
Speaker 4: But anyway, I didn't run through office one went out
Speaker 4: there twenty six years when I was working actress all
Speaker 4: twenty six years, you know, so that was really good.
Speaker 3: I had my sag insurance all the way through.
Speaker 5: That's great, that's success, right, That's really all that was.
Speaker 2: As actors were like, just let me afford the insurance.
Speaker 3: I think the mistake I made when I did USA
Speaker 3: All Night, I have to do that in case with watching.
Speaker 4: I used my own name instead of using a character
Speaker 4: name like Cassandra Peterson used Elvira right right. Getting off
Speaker 4: of the show, casting directors were like, well, who are
Speaker 4: you that?
Speaker 3: You know? They just didn't know what to do with me.
Speaker 3: But that's okay. At that age, I was like then forty,
Speaker 3: I'm thinking.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: My mother was like, are you ever getting married or
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a child. Well, anyway, long story short,
Speaker 3: I did end up marrying Van.
Speaker 4: But you'll like, I went to New Orleans to go
Speaker 4: back home to visit my parents and he was from
Speaker 4: New Orleans, so he was living in Lafayette, Louisiana. I
Speaker 4: was living in New Orleans and so I'm going to
Speaker 4: visit my mother. I was having a fight with this
Speaker 4: guy that I had a few dates with and saw
Speaker 4: some Pottenti with him, but it did work out.
Speaker 3: I said, well, I'm leaving.
Speaker 4: I'm going to see my mom in New Orleans, and
Speaker 4: I just wanted to irritate Van because I had just
Speaker 4: come off with TV.
Speaker 3: I was feeling really good about myself. I'm sin just
Speaker 3: and he was the only guy who really broke my
Speaker 3: heart at fifteen years old. He broke my heart.
Speaker 4: And so I'm like, I'm just gonna show this guy
Speaker 4: he broke He had been watching me on TV. I
Speaker 4: had no idea what he looked like, right, I didn't
Speaker 4: see her in twenty five years Lo and behold he
Speaker 4: walks into my mom's house fifteen days later. Weale, Wow,
Speaker 4: what a love story. It was like he got you
Speaker 4: know what it was, and you I will relate to
Speaker 4: this too. He was such a man and I was
Speaker 4: used to dating. You know, I love comics. But you
Speaker 4: know he would fight me from maritime in the bathroom
Speaker 4: or you know. It was like, you know, if I
Speaker 4: got a job over him, because some stand up I could,
Speaker 4: I could headline over him, then he'd be upset.
Speaker 3: But here's a guy who.
Speaker 2: Was a narcissist.
Speaker 4: Sorry, this real man who he was just different and
Speaker 4: so but then we're like, he's living in laught again.
Speaker 3: I'm living in Beverly Hiltle.
Speaker 4: Now what so And that's when Terry grows our dear
Speaker 4: makeup orders for him. Yes, you're not going to ever
Speaker 4: stay with him. Never, You're never going to leave all lite,
Speaker 4: You're never.
Speaker 3: I mean, she wasn't. She liked Van, but she was.
Speaker 3: She just didn't think.
Speaker 4: I would ever live La, right, And I'm not a quitter.
Speaker 4: And we started this intimate apparel business never thinking it
Speaker 4: would go anywhere. We just did it literally to work
Speaker 4: together because we hadn't seen each other. And twenty two
Speaker 4: years later, we're one of the largest apparel brand, Intimate,
Speaker 4: a power brand on home shopping and QVC, and we
Speaker 4: continue all over the world. So you know, yeah, I
Speaker 4: have had many So I will send you some of
Speaker 4: my pretty.
Speaker 5: Yes, they are super comfortable and they're yeah, they're like
Speaker 5: Terry has told me all about them. And I'm always like,
Speaker 5: I love you guys, oh yes, yes, Oh my god,
Speaker 5: I can't wait.
Speaker 2: But I just love to see you know, women.
Speaker 5: Who like you, who who have gone through their lives
Speaker 5: and been like, oh, you're gonna tell me what I
Speaker 5: can't do, I'm going to do that.
Speaker 2: I'm going to do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I and I like being one of those
Speaker 5: women myself. I just really, I have great admiraine for.
Speaker 3: And I know your story and I know your leadership.
Speaker 3: I know both. I mean I've followed both of you
Speaker 3: all and.
Speaker 4: It's amazing and what you're doing right now in this
Speaker 4: podcast which people love, which is amazing. But No, I
Speaker 4: was told no I was to this or to that.
Speaker 4: In la I couldn't run through office and I did.
Speaker 4: I couldn't be a stand up because I looked a
Speaker 4: certain way. I couldn't even when my husband I started
Speaker 4: the business, like you can't start an intimate a power
Speaker 4: of business. You guys have never been in fashion, but
Speaker 4: I'd always designed my costumes and things. But you can't
Speaker 4: do it because there's too many other there's too much
Speaker 4: other competition.
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, I will do it my own way.
Speaker 4: And the one thing I think beauty pageants taught me,
Speaker 4: or pageants back in the day, is that as many
Speaker 4: gorgeous women as there was and talented in la As,
Speaker 4: I never looked left or right. I just did my
Speaker 4: own thing. I did with myself. I never said, oh
Speaker 4: my gosh, look at her on an edition. But I'll
Speaker 4: never get this role. And that's what you have to do,
Speaker 4: is just be yourself.
Speaker 5: I think that's that's such a huge piece of advice,
Speaker 5: is like, don't it's not about looking like, am I
Speaker 5: better than this person?
Speaker 2: Worse than this person? What do you want it?
Speaker 5: And you and you're so much happier because you're never
Speaker 5: there's always going to be someone more or better or
Speaker 5: this or that whatever. Fine, yes, but like I'm not
Speaker 5: trying to compete to be them. I'm just trying to
Speaker 5: be me, you know. And that's such a great lesson,
Speaker 5: is like just be you and do it well, you know,
Speaker 5: whatever you are, do that.
Speaker 3: And I think that was the.
Speaker 4: Reason why I stayed there and had at least set
Speaker 4: level of success and loved acting and love working. And
Speaker 4: what's funny now is that I don't know. I guess
Speaker 4: all the people that grew up with me, and you know,
Speaker 4: you got another thing that you all relate to. Well,
Speaker 4: you went back into fuller house, so they got double
Speaker 4: doses of you, guys, triple double more than that. Right.
Speaker 4: It's like all of a sudden, I'm getting asked to
Speaker 4: do all these conventions and movie hosting shows and acting.
Speaker 4: I did one film last year, another one this year,
Speaker 4: and I never looked for it. And I'm like I'm
Speaker 4: not an audition. I'm scared of that. I don't know
Speaker 4: how to do that. I just signed with an agent
Speaker 4: out of it Atlanta. So it's like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 4: me so wild if it all goes full circle. But
Speaker 4: you know, when you're not as hungry for it, then
Speaker 4: it kind of happens because then you don't care as much.
Speaker 5: You know, well, it's and it becomes more of a
Speaker 5: like I'm doing this because I enjoy it, not because
Speaker 5: I need it to somehow fulfill me and my my
Speaker 5: ego or who I am as a person. It's like,
Speaker 5: I get to do this, not I have to do
Speaker 5: this in order to be a full human.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 3: We have to go, I know, I know you have
Speaker 3: to talk about the episode we on.
Speaker 2: That's yes, that's what we are. Just I was just
Speaker 2: about to ask.
Speaker 5: I was like, I love all of this backstory, but
Speaker 5: I know what people really want to hear about. Oh
Speaker 5: my god, Kimmy Gibbler, and I will let you two
Speaker 5: take that because Jimmy Gibbler.
Speaker 4: Who, oh my gosh, I just I got you know.
Speaker 4: I do a little show on Thursdays every night there
Speaker 4: called Rodgers your Social Hower. I run all things I
Speaker 4: do and I can't get you guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, that would be so fun.
Speaker 3: But I knew all the girls.
Speaker 4: Melanie Vince, who I think she dropped out a show
Speaker 4: because she was boredeous she and I did a bunch
Speaker 4: of episodes together.
Speaker 3: She was j and then I knew Jane ended up
Speaker 3: meeting and marrying Dave. Dave.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jane o'dine yea.
Speaker 3: There married Dave. I mean, I don't know if they
Speaker 3: stayed married, but no.
Speaker 4: But you know what two shows I did, I did
Speaker 4: a Happy Days and one of the girls married one
Speaker 4: of this Donny most got married off that show.
Speaker 3: And maybe I'm the cupid I know on these shows.
Speaker 4: Right, it's married off.
Speaker 2: It's true you have the energy.
Speaker 4: But that was really amazing. That was like so much
Speaker 4: fun to do and and to be Kimmy Gibbler. I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: I feel like you. I will always carry a little
Speaker 4: piece of Kimmy and me.
Speaker 1: More than man than you were so perfect for the role,
Speaker 1: and it was such so redeeming for me because I
Speaker 1: was the nerdy little neighbor, you know, the the one
Speaker 1: that nobody wanted around, and so the idea that I
Speaker 1: grew up to be this bombshell this lady that suddenly
Speaker 1: the guys are like, we need to be nice to
Speaker 1: Kimmy Gibler. That was very validating for me.
Speaker 3: That was a very very action.
Speaker 4: That scene, just that scene with all of us was
Speaker 4: so special. It did a lot, It said a lot.
Speaker 4: I mean, them playing older was just I mean just yeah,
Speaker 4: classic physical comedy with the wig flying around with John Stamos.
Speaker 4: Just it was just a classic. And you know, I
Speaker 4: don't remember every show that I was on in terms
Speaker 4: of physically being there, but I can put myself in
Speaker 4: that scene and remember it very well.
Speaker 3: I remember doing it so really, yes, yes, And it
Speaker 3: was a little bit late. I think it was like
Speaker 3: the later eighties, eighty.
Speaker 2: Nine, I can't remember exactly eighty nine, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Because I did a lot that was right before I
Speaker 3: would up all night, so it was a little bit.
Speaker 4: I was a little bit older than some of the

Speaker 4: I had a little part of Dallas so but Dynasty,
Speaker 4: I thought that was just a whot.
Speaker 3: I thought all the girl.
Speaker 2: There were so many shoulder pads.
Speaker 5: Shoulder pads really kept kept that show afloat in more
Speaker 5: ways than one.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. It was. You know they're
Speaker 2: coming back and shoulder pads.
Speaker 4: Okay, I am in even though I'm in bronze. We
Speaker 4: are in the fashion industry right, and shoulder pads. I
Speaker 4: don't think it'll be the frizzy big hair, but bigger hair,
Speaker 4: fuller hair is coming.
Speaker 3: Full right next up you got hair, fuller hair.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm shut out of luck there because I've got
Speaker 5: three strands of hair on my head.
Speaker 2: So you know they have all healthy and stuff for that.
Speaker 4: You're so beautiful, and I've seen some really gorgeous I
Speaker 4: don't know what you shot for, but Terry showed me
Speaker 4: some gorgeous pictures of you that.
Speaker 5: Oh well, Terry, I give all credit to Terry and
Speaker 5: Anna Maria who do my hair makeup, because it ain't
Speaker 5: looking like this, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: You are both young, you're both still so young, but yeah,
Speaker 4: both look like you're in your teens. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: It's a special filter for the zoom that we use.
Speaker 2: The entire full house cast.
Speaker 5: We really, uh, you know, all of that, all of
Speaker 5: that strange, wicked magic that we did to remain young
Speaker 5: has really paid off.
Speaker 3: Really, No, but I really believe. I really believe that
Speaker 3: with people.
Speaker 4: You know, I just tell people that say, when you
Speaker 4: look younger, you know, you know, I'm like, that's because
Speaker 4: I never had I have two step children and I
Speaker 4: have grandchildren, but I didn't have biological children, and so
Speaker 4: I feel like I remained completely immature.
Speaker 5: Well, you know what's funny is I have biological children
Speaker 5: and I'm still incredibly immature. So I don't know that
Speaker 5: anything really changes other than the fact that eventually you
Speaker 5: look at them and.
Speaker 2: You go, I think I'm supposed to be doing better
Speaker 2: than this, And then and then by that time they're
Speaker 2: almost eighteen, you go, well, I tried, right, you know,
Speaker 2: I believe I am.
Speaker 3: I just can't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sixteen and sixteen and almost fourteen year old daughters.
Speaker 3: Amazing? Are they in the industry?
Speaker 2: No? No, My young one is more of the performer.
Speaker 5: She goes to performing arts school and sings and dances
Speaker 5: and loves all that she wants to do, like musical
Speaker 5: theater stuff and singing. My older one is more of
Speaker 5: an athlete, and she is also very creative with like
Speaker 5: makeup and like she loves doing that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: So I'm always telling her, like, maybe Terry can take
Speaker 5: you as an apprentice. But yeah, they're They're both very,
Speaker 5: very different, but not in it professionally, just because I
Speaker 5: just don't think either of them had the focus at
Speaker 5: the time, even though, like, particularly for my younger one,
Speaker 5: it was really what she loved to do. She just
Speaker 5: I don't think was in the She was a kid,
Speaker 5: and you know, for us, it was like, I know
Speaker 5: what it takes, Like you kind of have to be
Speaker 5: weirdly mature and weirdly able to like put your own
Speaker 5: needs second, and most kids can't.
Speaker 2: Most kids don't do that, which.
Speaker 4: Is when I look back to show that you know
Speaker 4: that you guys do as children to have that kind
Speaker 4: of focus. Even when I went to LA, I treated
Speaker 4: it like a business because I felt like my parents
Speaker 4: felt to get there and I wasn't going to keep
Speaker 4: living off of them, so I had every day I
Speaker 4: was doing something else. And back then you could drop
Speaker 4: off pictures and resumes on not put it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could do.
Speaker 4: And I there was, and I had rollodexes back kind
Speaker 4: the day of names, and I would I would literally
Speaker 4: work that. I never wanted to waste a day feeling like, oh,
Speaker 4: I'm just luxuriating in la.
Speaker 3: So I greeted it as a business because it is
Speaker 3: the business.
Speaker 4: And and you guys being on the set, I mean
Speaker 4: you had fun, you were family.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I mean.
Speaker 4: My gosh, all the lines that you guys had too
Speaker 4: as kids, and then.
Speaker 2: You had oh yeah, there every day.
Speaker 3: I remember.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you did. She I'm sure she has a
Speaker 1: polaroid picture. She took polaroids of all the well everybody
Speaker 1: on the show cast and crew. But yeah, I'm sure
Speaker 1: she got a polaroid of you and asked you your
Speaker 1: birthday and your name.
Speaker 3: Oh god, now did you all Were you allowed to
Speaker 3: have your parents on the set? I don't remember that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah that was.
Speaker 5: I mean you either have to have a parent or
Speaker 5: a guardian, some sort of legal guardian there. But our
Speaker 5: mom's my mom, Janice and Sherry Barber, they were there.
Speaker 5: Candas's mom, I mean Candas's mom I think was in
Speaker 5: and out a little bit more because she was also
Speaker 5: like dealing with Kirk and doing a couple of other things.
Speaker 5: But she was there most of the time until really
Speaker 5: you guys got older. But yeah, our moms were there
Speaker 5: every day and hanging out.
Speaker 4: And Broadway they don't they have bar I have a
Speaker 4: friend who has. Her husband is a Broadway wrangler for children.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, yeah, they have. Yeah, they don't have because
Speaker 5: there's not there's no space. There's no space backstage for
Speaker 5: parents and extra people to hang out back backstage of
Speaker 5: theaters and Broadway theaters are tiny and it could be dangerous.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that. Did they explain that?
Speaker 4: So they so that the moms drop them off, the
Speaker 4: rangler takes get them, they get they do school.
Speaker 3: What was it? What was it like going to school
Speaker 3: on this set? Did you have to do that?
Speaker 4: We did?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we actually did both. So we got to go
Speaker 2: to like public school, at least I did.
Speaker 5: I went to school in the morning and then came
Speaker 5: into work in the afternoon on rehearsal days, and then
Speaker 5: two days a week did full on set schooling.
Speaker 2: But I had like a little bit of both and
Speaker 2: memorized line.
Speaker 1: That was the easy part, as kids here like sponges.
Speaker 1: So you just as the muganization just comes to you.
Speaker 1: And we're rehearsing all week too, So it's just like
Speaker 1: you is my osmosis. You just absorb it and regurgitate it,
Speaker 1: you know what.
Speaker 3: It's amazing.
Speaker 4: And I know, you know, I know you had great directors,
Speaker 4: but you guys had great comedy skills and understanding these jokes.
Speaker 3: Kids understanding you know, how to make a joke work.
Speaker 4: That just pakes me away, you know, to be so young,
Speaker 4: I mean, I think young actors just blow me away.
Speaker 3: It was just something I didn't do as a child, right,
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 5: It's a it's definitely like like I said, there's a
Speaker 5: very particular.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 5: Temperament that makes for a successful child actor in this business,
Speaker 5: which is someone who is kind of willing to like
Speaker 5: show up and work hard even if they don't feel
Speaker 5: great or.
Speaker 2: Feel like it, but who loves what they do. And yeah,
Speaker 2: not every kid.
Speaker 5: You know a lot of kids are like I'm tired,
Speaker 5: I'm not.
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, you know what happens.
Speaker 3: If like a cold went around the set.
Speaker 1: Or there was only one time we cancel the taping
Speaker 1: and that's because of Jody when Jody had the flu
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I I had like a one hundred and
Speaker 5: four fever. I was really really ill.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: But yeah, no every other time. You just mean, there's
Speaker 2: no sick days in this business.
Speaker 5: You just show up and you take some take some
Speaker 5: time and all cold, and you work through it and
Speaker 5: you hope it last year through the day and then
Speaker 5: you just crash in the car on the way home.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: It's not like crashing the car and I fall asleep
Speaker 5: because my mom was driving. Not Yeah, that sounded terrible.
Speaker 5: And I don't take cold nuts and then crash all
Speaker 5: the way home.
Speaker 3: That would be But that's amazing. I mean, you don't.
Speaker 3: I don't think people think about those kinds of things.
Speaker 2: They don't.
Speaker 3: They passed SERMs around very easily. I have a yeah indeed. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so you're on a set and you guys.
Speaker 5: Go, oh yeah, yeah, passing in and you know, if
