Speaker 1: you and all the things in between, and so you're

20
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: just such a good actress. Let's just say that right

21
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: out of the gate. Oh no, you're sweet. Thank you.

22
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: I you know, I hesitated about doing this simply because

23
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: it's been thirty years and going back and looking at

24
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: my work from thirty years ago, it's just horrifying. I mean,

25
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how you're doing it right on the show.

26
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: But we grow and we and we don't always like

27
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: to look back and see we do grow. You and

28
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: I think we're the same age. Yeah, yeah, And I

29
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: at this point have developed that developed that like I

30
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: don't give an f you know, like I'm just so

31
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: when I watched show back, I'm so tickled and like

32
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: stoked that that's me. And I appreciate it in such

33
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: a different way now than I ever could before because

34
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: I do share that like hate to watch myself think. Yeah. Also,

35
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: and honestly, I'm doing this because I just have so

36
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: much respect for you and for Tori. You were both

37
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: like badass women moms. You know, I'm working moms. I

38
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: just think that's incredible. And you were just so sweet

39
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: to me on the show and you didn't need to be.

40
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: It was my first show I did. I was right

41
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: out of college. I did the soap for one year

42
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: and then you did a lot of the soap just

43
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: a year one year, But how many episodes is that? Is? That?

44
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 4: All?

45
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: I was full on in that. I mean, they because

46
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: I replaced a character, so they had me working. Was

47
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: that days of our lives?

48
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: Was that days of our lives?

49
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, yeah, And so it was they moved me

50
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: out from New York. I was all of a sudden,

51
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: three cameras, you know what am I doing? And so,

52
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean that was really good training ground though it was,

53
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: it was, and I was glad to get off it.

54
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean, one year's enough. And then I was on

55
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: this show that was I think it was the height

56
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: of its popularity too.

57
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:19,440

Speaker 1: and just being inspired by it and learning from just Honestly,

67
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that if I didn't mean it. I

68
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: think you're a really good actress. Thank you. Thank Okay,

69
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: enough with that, But anyways, Amy, I was telling you

70
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: I saw Tracy on my TV two nights ago and

71
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: what was that? It was you. I've just started to

72
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: watch for the first time the Dead People's show with

73
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: the dead guy. He makes the dead people look good?

00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: I have a track record of opening really successful series.

77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: I'm not on them all the time. I'm just on

78
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: the first episode and I remember that. Yeah. I sat

79
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: it next to Alan Ball, who was the creator of

80
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: that show, who also did American Beauty. He's this incredible

81
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: writer director, And I went to like an orphan's Easter

82
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: dinner at a friend's house in la and he's from

83
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Georgia and I'm from Georgia and we sat next to

84
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: each other and he was on the Sybil Shepherd's show

85
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: at the time, and then he started writing sixteen a

86
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: hundred me in for that and I so wanted the part.

87
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: And it took a week to hear back and then

88
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, it was It was a It was a

89
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: dream job. The writing was so good and it's a

90
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: great show. I wish I had done more of the

91
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: funny me too.

92
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: Can you remember how you got the part? On nine

93
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: O two one? Zero.

94
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: So I was trying to think about that because I

95
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: didn't know what I was going to talk about because

96
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: it's been so long. Oh don't you worry. I've got

97
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: a questions, You've got stuff. So something I do vividly remember,

98
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure it was nine o two one

99
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: oh's audition was a room full of people and Aaron

100
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: Spelling was there, and just a ton of producers and directors.

101
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: And that's when back then, that's when you used to

102
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: used to go in for everybody. You didn't go on tape.

103
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: You you went into a room with a bunch of

104
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: people staring at you, staring at you. So I think

105
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: that it was for a NATO. It might have been

106
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: Meloe's place, but I think it was nine or two.

107
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: And I tell actors that all the time, young actors.

108
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: When I was I did a series for MTV, Scream,

109
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: and I was the oldest one on the show everyone

110
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: else for you know, the twenty something kids, And I

111
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: would tell them that that's the one I would bring

112
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: up is that as actors, we used to go in

113
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: and we used to read with casting directors with their assistants.

114
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: We used to meet the director. We used to meet

115
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: the producers, the showrunners, and audition for them, and we

116
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: don't do that anymore. We go on tape or it's

117
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: maybe a casting director, and then we never hear anything.

118
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: Just here.

119
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: Oh you don't hear if you don't happened.

120
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: Like it never happened, just out there.

121
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: And so your feeling right.

122
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: Your job is just the audition basically until you get

123
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: the job.

124
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 5: See why they had a room full of people there,

125
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 5: including Aaron, because this part is so important. If the

126
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 5: person didn't do it right, it would literally have ruined

127
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 5: what is such a major arc in this season. It

128
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 5: was so crucial that they get it right, and I

129
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 5: think they did. I mean, i'll tell you stories as

130
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 5: we talk, but you nailed it.

131
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: I have to tell you.

132
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was going to be because because

133
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: I was only booked for those first three episodes, and

134
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: I felt, Okay, I've experienced college, I know what that

135
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: environment's like. I can do this. What was terrifying was

136
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: when they brought me back and handed me.

137
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: The script most unhinged gal around.

138
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: Not only that, I so I do a lot of

139
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: a theater and I'm I love Tennessee Williams and being

140
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: given this monologue from one of the most beautiful plays

141
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: ever written for the American theater was terrifying. And I

142
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: had like four or five days to do it. And

143
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: so when I look when I look at those scenes,

144
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: which I just did for the first time in thirty years,

145
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: and I all I saw was this young, scared actress

146
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: trying to do justice to this beautiful play. And I

147
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: think I tried a little too. I love you. No

148
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: you didn't. First of all, I should have pulled back. No,

149
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: you should never ever pull back. That's my theory, right,

150
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: because that's a little bit.

151
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 5: It was a little big, But you weren't doing You

152
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 5: were Tracy doing Tennessee Williams. You were Tracy being Laura,

153
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 5: Laura doing Tennessee Williams. And that was the same thing

154
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 5: we talked about with Jenny, because Jenny was Kelly and

155
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 5: then Kelly doing it.

156
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: It's like, that's but.

157
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna ask you this, Uh, Jenny,

158
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: do you feel like, oh, I'm going to make the

159
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: choice that my character is a bad actress. It's very

160
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: hard to make that choice. You'd make the choice that

161
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: you're did you ask yourself that before you did the scene? Oh?

162
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: Hell yeah?

163
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,599
Speaker 1: I was did you prepare as a bad actress or

164
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: a good actress? No, because then they were just saying

165
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: Tracy's a bad actress. You may announce everybody. I just

166
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: want you all to know that I've made a choice,

167
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: a choice that she's going to be bad you that

168
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to use that now you should. I think

169
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: I'll use it too, really, dots all the actually thought

170
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: I actually thought you were quite lovely when I was

171
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: watching it, and I watched your audition with him. Although

172
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: he was creepy, I mean, it was painful. I can

173
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: I can feel your pain because you just reminded me

174
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: I did it too. Did that have audition for her?

175
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: If they tried to do that episode today, First of all,

176
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: he would be rested for having a young actress come

177
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: and you know, even letting her into his house to

178
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: a he was. But I thought you were quite lovely,

179
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: and I thought honestly that if I was to cast it,

180
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: I didn't necessarily think that Shannon would have been the actress.

181
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: But she was the type that makes sense. She's you know,

182
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: sexy and kind of grounded, and that's kind of that's

183
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: Maggie the cat to me.

184
00:10:44,840 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 5: Totally, these were all y'all's best episodes, because Shannon is

185
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 5: amazing in these episodes too, because you know, I'm I know,

186
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 5: Tory's so disappointed to not be here, so you got

187
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 5: stuck with me. But I watched it as a fan,

188
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 5: so we weren't like judging your work.

189
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: In Tennessee Williams kat on a honton roof, We're like,

190
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 2: oh my god, Laura has lost it.

191
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: When you're up on this scaffolding anybody, everybody, you guys,

192
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if you watched it. I'm sure they did.

193
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: They're listening now, but you got to watch it. It's

194
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: so good. It's so good, and then it's so confusing too.

195
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: And you must have felt this way when you read

196
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: the script. It in the beginning for the first three episode,

197
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: you were accusing Steve Sanders, and then you came back

198
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: and you then you're hooking up with them and he's

199
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: your biggest supporter. Yeah, and why he trust me, I'm

200
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: not that's such a lot. Yeah, that was That's not

201
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: on me. That's not I'm sure not on him either,

202
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: because I yeah, it just didn't it wasn't very consistent. Yeah,

203
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: they made it there. Yeah, they made a leap.

204
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 3: They really needed you, They needed you for all this.

205
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 3: It was like a big arc in the season and

206
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 3: that's often too wanted to become an actress and then

207
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 3: going off.

208
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: To London, right, Oh, is that what happened? You didn't

209
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: watch after your episode?

210
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: What I can say.

211
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 5: And that's why I was so excited to talk to

212
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 5: you today because I was probably nineteen at the time

213
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 5: when I was watching this, because we're all about the

214
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 5: same age, so we were in college watching this, like

215
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 5: you said at the height, And what I found so

216
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 5: interesting is I saw you obviously go on to do

217
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 5: other things, and every time I would see you on screen,

218
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 5: I would get like ooh, because it was so ingrained

219
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 5: in me that character. And I think it was the

220
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 5: first time we sort of saw someone We saw it

221
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 5: a little bit with Christina Elise, but somebody that was

222
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 5: like a bit unhinged, and it was sort of like

223
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 5: my first experience with that. And that's why I thought,

224
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 5: I mean, now, maybe look back with different eyes. But

225
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 5: then I was just like sucked in, like this is

226
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 5: what happens if a girl kind of goes off the

227
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 5: edge or gets too obsessed with something.

228
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: And I just it took me a while. I'm scary. Yes, like,

229
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: I'm so happy to see you today because you really

230
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: are nothing like Laura you look. But it was like,

231
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: that's stuck with.

232
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: Me, and that means I also most of the things,

233
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: I've died a lot in a lot of different things too,

234
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: so that's traumatic. It really kind of does leave an imprint.

235
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm not just the viewer, but I'll see the actor. Yeah, yeah,

236
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, I had totally I'd forgotten a lot of

237
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: that last scene, so it was interesting to watch it again.

238
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how you're doing it. Are

239
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: you Are you not watching the next episode? Are you

240
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: trying to refresh yourself as you go along? Is that

241
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: what's happening.

242
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just watching an episode by episodes, so we're

243
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 3: at the end of season.

244
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: For any of them. That must ain't telling me about it.

245
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: She was taking a while when she took this show

246
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: on that there were ten seasons.

247
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: Well, and there's like thirty episodes or thirty two or something.

248
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: They don't do that anymore. I mean, it's running podcasts

249
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: ever in the world. Yeah. It's wonderful though, but I

250
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: can imagine you do forget a lot of them because

251
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: I forgot all of them.

252
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: Yes, well that's what's so funny too, because.

253
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 5: I watched it, you know, I was the fan. We

254
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 5: were all in soo already watching it, and then I've

255
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 5: kind of dabbled it watching it again. But your character

256
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 5: is unforgettable. And I wonder how long did people recognize

257
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 5: you from nine oh two one oh after you did it?

258
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: I mean that must have been crazy.

259
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: I just got it last like three weeks ago. Someone

260
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: in the airport, Well what happened? I said, are you serious?

261
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: He said, what you say?

262
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: What they say? You said, you're from nine to two?

263
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: And oh, I said, are you kidding me? I said,

264
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: when did you watch that? Because he was younger than us,

265
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: and he said, oh, no that I think he's there

266
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: rewatching it. He and his girlfriend are rewatching all of it.

267
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: And he recognized me from that. I couldn't believe it.

268
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean I did, but I got it a lot

269
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: right after the show aired, and I got it a

270
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: lot from I don't know if you had this, but

271
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: from like basketball players who were in the locker room,

272
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: or you know, like weird like crazy. You know, I

273
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: thought you were going to say prisoners. No, I had that.

274
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: That was more than So that was a lot.

275
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 5: I got a lot of Yeah, Days of Our Lives

276
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 5: would be a major one too.

277
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's hilarious basketball players.

278
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: Okay, So did you play her the same in each arc?

279
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 5: Because the first version of Laura, you know, it's almost

280
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 5: like she just got worse by the second. So did

281
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 5: you have to come in and play her a bit

282
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 5: more over the top for the second.

283
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: Set of episodes? She almost sort of redeemed herself in

284
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: the first set, and I was like, oh, I'm cool

285
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: with her.

286
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 5: Yeah this round, I was like, yeah, we don't know

287
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 5: what Steve did. Like we kind of talked about this

288
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 5: when your first set of episodes aired because it was

289
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 5: so fascinating. They showed your perspective and his, and we

290
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 5: assume the truth was somewhere sort of in the middle.

291
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

292
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 5: But that then she comes back and she's very you know,

293
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 5: really frightened.

294
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, I had to be honest with you. I

295
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: struggled with it was a hard It was hard. Those

296
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: first three episodes were hard because you're having to kind

297
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: of I had to believe that it was true and

298
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: my version was true, but I also struggled as a

299
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: woman that so many women in the nineties in college,

300
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: probably ninety percent of them don't report being raped, you

301
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: know at that time, and that the show is choosing

302
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: to focus on the male being the victim. I really

303
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: struggled with that a bit, just as a woman, So

304
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: as an actress, I went in with you know, I

305
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: didn't fully say yes, I'm confused and vulnerable. And then

306
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: so when that progressed, I chose that her being lost

307
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: and alone in college, that just made it worse. And

308
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: so when she shows up again and later in the season,

309
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: she has been alone a lot. She doesn't have a

310
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: lot of friends, and I think I think Iron's character

311
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: was somebody that she could convince.

312
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 3: Interesting she came back for your fourth episode, let's say,

313
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 3: Lara part two, that were you up to something when

314
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 3: you came back, like straight.

315
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: Out of the gate? No not, I think I mean

316
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: because he finds me in the episode he comes into

317
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: my room in the beginning of the second time I

318
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: came back. So I think I think there was legitimately

319
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: trying to do this play to somehow find some footing,

320
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: to find some places.

321
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, but so weird. You're right that she would even allow,

322
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 3: you know, allow him to get close to her again

323
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 3: if that had.

324
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: Been and vice versa. But I think they had some guilt.

325
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 5: Like I might be going way to like the psychology

326
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 5: of these characters, but like Laura has some guilt over

327
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 5: what she maybe she misinterpreted what was happening or had

328
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 5: her perspective and then it became this hold to do.

329
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: And he has guilt because he does it.

330
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 5: Admit he shouldn't have done what he did, even though

331
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 5: it wasn't necessarily quote rape or criminal, it was he

332
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 5: knew he had celested, and there was the whole thing.

333
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 5: So he's got guilt, which is why I think it

334
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 5: was a perfect storm. You two connected because of this past,

335
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 5: and then it just spirals and he almost causes the spiral,

336
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 5: not exactly, but he doesn't, you know, bring you down

337
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 5: and say wait a minute, or did you call Brenda

338
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 5: and do this about the rehearsal. It's like he's so

339
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 5: in with you, probably from the guilt, that it exasperates

340
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 5: this messiness.

341
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, it got really messy. I think I think

342
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: obviously the characters unhinged otherwise to go there so quickly

343
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: over not getting the part, or you know, I think

344
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: already confused and lost and struggling in college and alone,

345
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: and then Okay, this is going to solve everything. I'm

346
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,239
Speaker 1: going to do this play. I'm going to get this

347
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: part and work my ass off on it, and I'm gonna,

348
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, nail it and should have gotten it. And

349
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: then and legitimately feeling like, wait, what happened? How did

350
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: she all of a sudden get the part when she

351
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: bombed the audition? And right, so that's legitimate confusion. And

352
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: then he was, you know, guilty of seducing his leading ladies.

353
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: And then to find out that she went to his house.

354
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: So it all those pieces to defend her, that character,

355
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: all those you and she wasn't the only one saying

356
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: it so right, you know, so you know, yes, she

357
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: made it worse and then totally went off the deep end. Right,

358
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: who directed? Do you remember? Who was that James? That

359
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: house that directed? Do you have any section one of them?

360
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: Maybe that maybe that last one? I don't remember. I

361
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I just was wondering because, especially with the

362
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: last couple episodes, you had so much like work to

363
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: You had to really prepare stuff and bring it in

364
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: and sometimes on an episodic show like this, it gets

365
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: a little like you know, the director doesn't really step

366
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: up and help or support the way they could with

367
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: an actress, especially when they have stuff this heavy. I

368
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: was just wondering if if you remember any like people

369
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: that supported you or helped you, or like, you know,

370
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: made it up. I don't. I don't for those episodes.

371
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: I do remember a director and I can't remember his

372
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: name on the earlier episodes being very kind and thoughtful

373
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: and trying to help me through a moment this one,

374
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: this one, I think I was just, you know, I

375
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: was so focused on trying to as an actor, trying

376
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: to nail that arc and try to make sense of it.

377
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: And you must know this so well. When you're on

378
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: a series, you almost have to be director proof because

379
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: can you take from the good and hopefully you get

380
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: really good ones, but there's bad ones out there that

381
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: tell you to do things that just aren't write for

382
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: your character, especially if in an episodic. They're coming in

383
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: for each show. You're on the show every episode, so

384
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: you want your character you understand, and sometimes it's a

385
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: good thing and you do know your character. I've definitely

386
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: worked on series where the ego is really big and

387
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: they just won't do anything the director says, well, they

388
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: just focus on the guest star because that that regular

389
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: will not do anything, and that's got to be frustrating

390
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: for a director.

391
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 2: Well, and this character is so complicated.

392
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 5: This isn't like Sorority Girl one, you know number two,

393
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 5: Like if this didn't go, if you didn't do it

394
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 5: right and have that support you needed, it could have

395
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 5: derailed multiple episodes. That's why I think there was so

396
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 5: much pressure on this character because you became the forefront

397
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 5: of this episode.

398
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 2: And again, it could have been clowny if you didn't

399
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: do it right, or like too soapy or I.

400
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: Mean, we got you to play this role because you're right,

401
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: Amy been could have been disaster. You're you're you're very sweet.

402
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: I know because I've seen your work after the show,

403
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: Like I know your work and you're always consistently like

404
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: just good, you know, and and like I don't want

405
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: to say dependable, but you know that you're going to

406
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: give the characters do what's the saying, it's it's to oats, No,

407
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: what's the we were having this argument? Sorry you are,

408
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: you're doing the character right.

409
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 2: But what's blowing my mind? And I hope this makes

410
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 2: sense because looking at you right now. First of all,

411
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: you do look the same, so beautiful.

412
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 5: You did something with your face, like your eyes and

413
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 5: the like playing that character because I thought you were

414
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 5: going to look like that today and you don't look

415
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 5: anything like that.

416
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 2: So you were doing that and it was like.

417
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 5: Crazy in the eyes and that's your eyes, you guys,

418
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 5: Like that's what's going on?

419
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: Because I thought you.

420
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 2: Had fake how have you? It was not just in

421
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: the things that you were saying. It was in the

422
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: body language.

423
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 5: It was in the face and the movement and even

424
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 5: like the creepy masks on the door of the room.

425
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: And like the laundry.

426
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 5: Every single part of that character I think was so

427
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 5: good in these episodes, and that's why, like it was

428
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 5: burned into me.

429
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 2: I was like, I will never forget that character.

430
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think I was trying to remember at

431
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: the time, I was really into Cassavettis, and I think

432
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: I was trying to channel gentlemen from a woman under

433
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: the influencer. I think, wow, I think there's probably the

434
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: young actress in me was trying to figure out how

435
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: do you tap into something where you go so you know,

436
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: that's to get to that point, it's got to be

437
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, is hard. I've had you know, and I've

438
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: had people in my life who have gone there, and

439
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: so it's it's you know a lot of people are

440
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: like such a selfish act you know to do something

441
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: like that, but that's how lost you are when you yeah,

442
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,719
Speaker 1: going to that extreme, You're so lost. So it was,

443
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think I was probably trying to channel

444
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: anything I could find as such a young actress. I'm

445
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: going to look back on that, and we were, I mean,

446
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: we're so young and we're trying to do these really hard.

447
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, you had to make that nutty nutty gal

448
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 5: likable too, or we all would have been like, get

449
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 5: rid of this cuckoo chick. We had to feel compassion,

450
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 5: which I did the entire both.

451
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: Laura Part one and Laura Part two.

452
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 5: Like even though what you sort of did, although I

453
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 5: still we debated this back and forth a lot because

454
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 5: it's never clear what really happened in Laura Part one,

455
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 5: but you you were still likable, and we had this

456
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 5: almost like oh no, like oh, bless her heart kind

457
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 5: of like, oh no.

458
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: That's hard. That's a hard thing because we're you're watching

459
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: these characters on this show and you fall in love

460
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: with these characters, and so any character that comes on

461
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: that that disparages them or it, you're not going to

462
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: be liked. And so that's a it's a hard balance

463
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: to play what they've written for you and play that

464
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: character but also not be completely hated by anybody watching

465
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: the show because then nobody cares and so what so.

466
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 5: Well, and you your character is so important to bring

467
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 5: Steve to the forefront because look, Steve can be sort

468
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 5: of a secondary character.

469
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: But in both Laura Part one and Laura Part two.

470
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 5: And it really brought Jenny to the forefront because she

471
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 5: comes to defend Steve and that was so important for

472
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 5: our core characters. And then in this one, it really

473
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 5: caused the friction between Steve and Brenda for the most

474
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 5: we've ever seen.

475
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: I mean we were almost like a laughing right, Wow,

476
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 2: they're going.

477
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: And say, I'm your brother's friend, not yours.

478
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 2: My god, he's kind of a you know, a D

479
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 2: word in this.

480
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 5: But you still we had to not hate you. We

481
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 5: never hated you.

482
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: We were just like, oh god, this is going the wrong.

483
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, you did job, thank you. I ended up

484
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: It's funny. I ended up doing I think probably five

485
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: or six years later, I ended up doing Alma in

486
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee Williams Summer and Smoke ask you about this? Yeah,

487
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: where did you do that? At the Fountain Theater and

488
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,360

489
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: are the Theater Awards in LA and I was up

Speaker 2: really good show.

529
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a fund what you're living in New Orleans?

530
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: I live, I live in New Orleans, and that's kind

531
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: of why I live here. The first season was shot

532
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: in Baton, Huge, and the second season they were going

533
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: to film in New Orleans and we were gonna, you know,

534
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: my husband and I were like, well, let's buy an

535
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: investment property, because that's what you do when you're on

536
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: a series. Right, So Mark, now, right, So we were

537
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: looking in California and we were living in Central California

538
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: at the time, and I couldn't find anything. And then

539
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: we looked in New Orleans and we just found this.

540
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: The house I'm in now, this really great, you know,

541
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: one hundred year old house, and it was amazing. It's

542
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: just ugly, just painted, you know, yell and purple. And

543
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: so while I was filming the series, you know, again,

544
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: I was the mom of the main character. My character

545
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: had all this history, and so I was I was

546
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: integral in it. But I didn't have to work that much.

547
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of role. It was great. So I was

548
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: getting paid, worked maybe one or two days a week,

549
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: and then the rest of the time I spent renovating

550
00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: the house.

551
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 3: Is that the house I saw on your Instagram?

552
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: The white is it white? Like, yeah, it's beautiful. Yeah,

553
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: And so we're now I'm actually doing Uh, we have

554
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: a commercial property that's from the eighteen forties. Then we're

555
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: that we're renovating. Oh that's so fun. Yeah, it's an

556
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: old pharmacy and an old brick carriage house and we're

557
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: turning it in a restaurant, bar and a deli. Amazing.

558
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: Look at you. You're just our Laura king You do

559
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: what you gotta do, don't you really sprouted her wings?

560
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 5: I will say I am so grateful for you doing

561
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 5: this because of all the ten seasons, there's only a

562
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 5: handful of guest stars that really are just unforgettable, and

563
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 5: you are one of them, and like Laura Kingman will

564
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 5: never be forgotten. It's just such a Yeah, it must

565
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 5: have just been so juicy to like play that character.

566
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: She's so so complicated.

567
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was in fact. I mean as

568
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: you get older, I mean you probably feel this way, Jenny,

569
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: But as you get older, you go, oh, I think

570
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: I understand that a little bit better now, and you

571
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: look back on some of these parts and go, oh.

572
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: The hard thing being an actor is that it's out

573
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: there for everyone to see, and so your growth is

574
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: out there for everyone to see. Oh yeah, yeah, which

575
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: can you know, it can be tough. You just have to,

576
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, accept that's part of the gig and try

577
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: to grow with each job. So yeah, well I can't

578
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: wait to see what's next for you. And I mean

579
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: you're going to keep yourself busy with these renovations, which

580
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: is so fun. Yeah, yeah, I have these renovations. I

581
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: also have a project that I worked on which you

582
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: maybe would want to contribute to. It's called Shutter to Think.

583
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: And I saw that also on your Instagram and I

584
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: saw someone's feet and I was very confused, are they

585
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: your feet or are they any lynnux Beat? I created

586
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 1: so girls education. If you can educate women around the world,

587
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: girls around the world, we can pretty much change the world.

588
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: Because girls get educated, they work, the money comes home.

589
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: They don't leave their villages, they stay. And the majority

590
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: of girls are not educated. The boys are educated. And

591
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: so I was involved with a friend who started Girl

592
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: Rising and I started this project called Shudder to Think

593
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 1: and it's any but any celebrity who has taken a photo,

594
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: they can donate the photo. Amazing, let's do that. I

595
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: was I was just at I was just at the

596
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: gorge to see Brandon Carlisle and John H. Fan was

597
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: so lucky to meet Johnnie Mitchell and talk to her,

598
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: and then I ran into any Lenox and I was

599
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: I was able to thank any Lennox for her Oh good.

600
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 1: I definitely wanted it easy because it's you just send

601
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 1: a boot up and I used to have genius.

602
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 3: First of all, that's a genius because that's an easy

603
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 3: ask of people. And also I love that title, shudder

604
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,600

605
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: help the girls think. And I've had some good responses.

606
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: Meryl Street donated, and Helen Chemmy and Moby and just

607
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:34,239

00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: talk to you and learn all about this and I

611
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: don't know, you're just great. You're great, that's all.

612
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you are phenomenal on this show.

613
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 5: Because even now, just this little time we've had, is

614
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 5: like you don't even look like her in that same way.

615
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 2: You're personalities difference, So it's just like that must have

616
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 2: been so out of left field to play her, and

617
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: you just nailed it. Like I said, I will never

618
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 2: forget Laurie.

619
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,400
