Speaker 1: of our conversation straight from the Gazebo with my Green
Speaker 1: TV daughter, April Nardini portrayed by Vanessa Maranha.
Speaker 2: Happy Mother's Date, everybody, you brought your mother's and it's
Speaker 2: a special day.
Speaker 1: I lost my mother in two thousand and eight, but
Speaker 1: let me tell you, she had the biggest influence on
Speaker 1: my life of any single person on the planet.
Speaker 2: Obviously, she loved me fiercely.
Speaker 3: She demanded excellence from me every day, and when I
Speaker 3: screwed up, she let me know it.
Speaker 1: But she didn't judge before it. You know, she was
Speaker 1: a great mom. I miss her dearly. But the thing
Speaker 1: is is she's still inside me, informing me and teaching
Speaker 1: me and guiding me.
Speaker 2: And protecting me.
Speaker 1: So to all you moms out there who work so
Speaker 1: hard every day at making your children the best they
Speaker 1: can be, this is your day. Warner Brothers is giving
Speaker 1: you your day to honor you.
Speaker 2: Thank you all, so very, very very much. Give herself
Speaker 2: a round of applause. Now I want to bring up
Speaker 2: a very special guest. She's my great friends.
Speaker 1: She's here with her mother, and I want you to
Speaker 1: meet the one, the.
Speaker 2: Only Vanessa Morano. There she is. Give her a round
Speaker 2: of applause.
Speaker 1: I loved having a different story to tell, a deeper
Speaker 1: story to tell about luc It really, I thought fleshed
Speaker 1: him out and humanized him in a way that hadn't
Speaker 1: been done before. There was and it still retains a
Speaker 1: mystery about who the mother was and what happened.
Speaker 2: And why were they estranged? And you know, why doesn't
Speaker 2: he know who she is?
Speaker 1: And yeah, I just thought it was brilliant and I
Speaker 1: loved working with you.
Speaker 4: You were thirteen years old, thirteen thirteen years old, and
Speaker 4: she would come to the set and she would know
Speaker 4: her stuff cold, and it would be.
Speaker 2: Like, this girl can't be thirteen.
Speaker 3: She's twenty three playing thirteen somehow. But there was a
Speaker 3: maturity and a sophistication that I had not encountered.
Speaker 2: Before, you know, So tell us about your first day
Speaker 2: on set.
Speaker 5: I was running around like a disclistle camera taking pictures
Speaker 5: before Instagram is before of that, not even realizing.
Speaker 4: Whether or not I was allowed to do that.
Speaker 3: I was, but it fell very annoying with something right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was great being in a diner having seen it.
Speaker 6: And what's interesting about you'll it is the fact that
Speaker 6: this is sort of practical in that way, like there
Speaker 6: weren't sets that were on stages for the interiors. But
Speaker 6: for the most part it was crazy that Luke's was
Speaker 6: you could actually walk outside and be in Star's Hollow
Speaker 6: and then walk inside Lukes and sheep inside Luke's. Like
Speaker 6: that wasn't a very common thing.
Speaker 2: That would happen on the sets.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 7: So there's a show a time that was calling about
Speaker 7: a trace that I was also playing a daughter on
Speaker 7: around the same time, and I couldn't do it because
Speaker 7: I was shooting Gilmer Girls. So they only invited my
Speaker 7: sister back, and there was one day in particular, my
Speaker 7: sister was working on that show and I was working
Speaker 7: on Gilwortirls, and my mom had to run.
Speaker 6: From sound stage to sound stage as.
Speaker 2: The legal guardian. Unbelievable.
Speaker 6: Also, as a fan, you don't really get to have
Speaker 6: a community with very many things the way that this
Speaker 6: show does, which is something that I just love about
Speaker 6: it and something that you can always go back to.
Speaker 6: That does feel like a cozy, warm hug. And in
Speaker 6: this crazy industry where we're trying to create content constantly,
Speaker 6: to have something that's as ever green as that is
Speaker 6: really special.
Speaker 3: So that's that leads into my next question. I don't
Speaker 3: think I've ever asked this. You've been on my podcast before.
Speaker 3: You're one of my favorites, if not the favorite. Why
Speaker 3: do you think the show seems to be growing in
Speaker 3: popularity quarter of a century after it was released?
Speaker 5: Cause it holds up it's I mean, look and andys
Speaker 5: writing is like however, it really is just like it's
Speaker 5: really good writing, and the characters and the relationships are
Speaker 5: so great and relatable and interesting and funny, but also
Speaker 5: very like dramatically real.
Speaker 8: And then like again, the xtaposition with the show of
Speaker 8: like you're watching you know, Luke and Lorelei have broken
Speaker 8: up and there's this tension between them and do they
Speaker 8: love each other? Oh, this is such a beautiful moment
Speaker 8: where they're talking about what it means to love someone.
Speaker 8: But it is being some like crooking a child.
Speaker 2: No, you can't make it up. You get make that up?
Speaker 2: Who is doing that on the WB at time?
Speaker 9: It's just like they were like, Okay, well, I guess
Speaker 9: we'll just let it go, right, there's just don't argue
Speaker 9: with her anymore, so just.
Speaker 3: Let it go.
Speaker 9: What a thing or the ratings are great, right, but
Speaker 9: she knows what she's doing. It's been a pleasure catching
Speaker 9: up with you. It's always good to see you. Thank
Speaker 9: you so much, and happy Mother's Day.
Speaker 3: Mom.
Speaker 2: We go way back, way.
Speaker 3: Back to when this one was thirteen years old of
Speaker 3: them and what a spectacular woman she's grown into.
Speaker 6: Producer definitely not a four year old in person, and
Speaker 6: he has our ten year old all over work then

Speaker 3: what they created. I mean, it's two people created this
Speaker 3: marvelous show that.
Speaker 14: Will is so deeply woven into the fabric of American
Speaker 14: culture that it will it will never become unloud. They've
Speaker 14: created something that's gonna last forever, and it's just a
Speaker 14: remarkable achievement. And it really just comes down to their writing, right,
Speaker 14: I mean it could have been I mean, I know
Speaker 14: people can't imagine any other actors being in these parts.
Speaker 3: But I think any other actors could have been in
Speaker 3: these parts and it still would have resonated.
Speaker 2: Do you believe that?
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, look, their writing is incredible that like
Speaker 6: any actor would just be dying to say it and.
Speaker 8: It elevates the performance.
Speaker 6: But I do also I don't think you can sell
Speaker 6: yourself short.
Speaker 3: No, no, right, that's why they have That's that's why
Speaker 3: they had the audition process.

Speaker 12: as a keepsake that you really liked?

Speaker 3: I feel incredibly lucky and incredibly privihiched to.
Speaker 15: I mean, it takes luck. You've got to be in
Speaker 15: the right place at the right time. And I had
Speaker 15: another career before I did acting when I never was
Speaker 15: in the right place at the right time, or maybe
Speaker 15: I wasn't the.
Speaker 2: Right person when the right time came up, or whatever.
Speaker 2: You know, it just didn't align right.

Speaker 3: and I'm gonna let the.
Speaker 16: Work speak for itself. And I'm not gonna chase fame.
Speaker 16: I'm not gonna chase it. I'm just gonna try to

Speaker 3: skill set and it landed me here twenty five years later,
Speaker 3: which is like, you.
Speaker 2: Know, a testament to hard work.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 5: It really is just.
Speaker 2: It's just doing the work.

Speaker 16: marketing myself or who I knew.

Speaker 2: calm down. I won't take it off. I did. I
Speaker 2: did a convention in two thousand and five.
Speaker 1: Funny story and uh and there was there was a line,
Speaker 1: and there was about a forty five minute line, and
Speaker 1: there was one young girl who got up finally got
Speaker 1: up to the front line and I did not have
Speaker 1: my hat on, and she said, I waited forty five
Speaker 1: minutes for this crap.
Speaker 2: Three people. All right, so let's start the Q and A.
Speaker 18: Hi.
Speaker 2: What's your name? Hi, Loretta? Hi, how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing fine? And dannam a little warm, just like
Speaker 1: everybody else.
Speaker 12: You know, that's a question, quick question, Who do you
Speaker 12: think is Rory's baby Daddy's so.
Speaker 2: I know better way to put that. I mean I
Speaker 2: kind of think it's I think it's Logan.
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I mean I don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: teams you don't want to you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm like team everybody now, I don't care, you know,
Speaker 1: But it's like, I think he's the logical choice. You know.
Speaker 2: Here's my thing about Logan though, versus Jess.
Speaker 1: The question I ask myself is, in ten years of
Speaker 1: marriage with either Logan or Jess, hey, how many kids
Speaker 1: are there going to be? And who's more likely to
Speaker 1: cheat ten years?
Speaker 2: You know? Right, that's the question. That's the question you
Speaker 2: gotta ask.
Speaker 13: Are you ready to be your grandfather on the show

Speaker 2: Hill. What was your favorite memory filming?
Speaker 1: What was my favorite memory from the show. Having a
Speaker 1: steady job. It's extremely difficult having a steady job in
Speaker 1: this town. And let me tell you something about you know,
Speaker 1: when you dream of something that you want to do
Speaker 1: in your life and you take the small steps to
Speaker 1: get there and you put the work in. Okay, this
Speaker 1: dream that came true was so much bigger than I
Speaker 1: had ever imagined and so overwhelming that the first time
Speaker 1: I drove through a gate two to come to my
Speaker 1: I had my own parking space with my name on
Speaker 1: it at Warner Brothers.
Speaker 2: And it hit me like a I pulled in the
Speaker 2: first time.
Speaker 3: I just sat there and the tears came, and I
Speaker 3: called my I called my mom.
Speaker 2: And I said, I'm sitting here in.
Speaker 1: My car, my crappy little car because i didn't have
Speaker 1: a nice car yet, and I'm sitting in a parking
Speaker 1: space and warn Bros.
Speaker 2: Got my name on it. So milestone moment in my life.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you also miss playing baseball.
Speaker 1: I missed the fellas. I missed the camaraderie. I missed
Speaker 1: the fun we had. I miss the feeling of people
Speaker 1: having your back in a physical sense and also in
Speaker 1: you know, cheering you on. This business is a little
Speaker 1: not like that, you know, it's it's it's egos and
Speaker 1: it's like people get I mean, you can have that
Speaker 1: kind of chemistry.
Speaker 2: But it's kind of rare. But in sports it's essential
Speaker 2: to have that. Right.
Speaker 1: You have to have that or you're not going to win.
Speaker 1: There has to be real unity. Yeah, it's just, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a fun.
Speaker 2: Thing to do.
Speaker 1: It's a kid's game, right, and you're an adult and
Speaker 1: you're playing a kid's game. And what's the in that
Speaker 1: movie that that great Moneyball movie? Say, you know, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a day when somebody tells you can't play
Speaker 1: the kids game anymore. And that came for me when
Speaker 1: I was like twenty six years old and I decided
Speaker 1: to walk. Nobody told me, but I walked. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I do miss it a little bit, but I enjoy
Speaker 1: it now from a distance, and I enjoy watching a
Speaker 1: game or two. I have a friend who is on
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Phillies twenty five men roster named Weston Wilson.
Speaker 1: You should cheer from him because he's a five tool player.
Speaker 1: He can hit for power, he can run, he can
Speaker 1: play any position. He's got a great arm based steel bases.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 2: Great dude, Thank you got a buddy. There you go.
Speaker 2: One more question? Hi, Hi, Hi? What name my name is?
Speaker 11: Savannah.

Speaker 8: guys were garden vegetables, which garden vegetables would you be.

Speaker 2: I want to. I'm a carrot because I want you
Speaker 2: to always.
Speaker 1: Always see me. Thank you, thanks for your question. Now

Speaker 2: got to look that up. And what does let us
Speaker 2: be together about?
