Speaker 1: to Brooke. While she played Brooke, she was, you know,

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: the varsity volleyball head coach, super volleyball player. We are

00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: It's so fun catching up with people from the show,

00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: and we're really glad to have you. It's just me

00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Wait, first, where are you? Where

00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: are you in Pasadena too? Oh? Yeah? Where? Well? I

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: can my address? Yeah? What straight? Don't you love Pasadena? Though? Love?

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: I was born you were born here? That's right? Were

15
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: you have a rose Queen? No? I didn't go up here, Okay,

16
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: but I was born here and I moved to Virginia

17
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: when I was five. We're in Virginia Fairfax. Oh my gosh,

18
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 1: my husband's from Virginia. This weird. Virginia beach. Oh beautiful.

19
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: So you play Brooke obviously you know that. But our listeners. Um,

20
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: she played Brooke and you were in three episodes of that,

21
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: some the summer episodes. Yes, it seems like much more.

22
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: That's weird. It seemed like you were really prominent. I

23
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: was going to say, like eight episodes. Wow, well that

24
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: would have been nice. I don't know. They can't keep

25
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: the racist around for eight episodes, like you think she

26
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: broke the ice? Okay, good, okay, First walk us through.

27
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: How did you get the role of Brooke. Um? Well,

28
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: I auditioned obviously for Aaron and Um. I remember walking

29
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: into the room with the producers because I remember when

30
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: I got the script, I was like, this is my part.

31
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: I want this part, and I said, I really think

32
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: that everybody has a little racism in them because of

33
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: their conditioning and their culture, and I want to play

34
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: this part. So when I walked into the room, I

35
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: when I'm here, I've already had Luke because I worked

36
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: with him on Loving and now I want Jason. And

37
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: then I told him that I said, I feel everyone

38
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: has a little bit this in them, and I think

39
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: it's really really an important storyline to tell. I like

40
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: it that. She was like, I want I want Jason

41
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: now very yeah, assortive of you. I love that. I know,

42
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: wasn't it already had Luke? So I didn't really have Luke.

43
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: What I really did say. It's so fascinating to me

44
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: because I wondered if because in the first episode she's

45
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: much more likable and we don't see any of that yet,

46
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: so that a little bit. Yeah, it's so interesting to me.

47
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: You did know the trajectory of the character right from

48
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: the oh yeah, oh yeah, because was an art because

49
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: I was going to get dumped at the end. Yeah yeah, yeah,

50
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: so because yeah, as the audience, we we we we

51
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: wanted you to leave the audience. We're like, she can't

52
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: stay the people. Wait, okay, so people. Do people still

53
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: associate you with racist Brooke? Well, not me, because I

54
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: haven't been working for a very long time. I've been

55
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: raising my family and um. But when I went on

56
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Pete Show, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he said that, a

57
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: lot of the fans were like, why are you having

58
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: her on? You're like, I'm not really a racist, I

59
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: just played one on TV. Yeah, exactly. It was interesting.

60
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: It was so ahead of its time, the show in general,

61
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: and it was it was a little in our face.

62
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: I would say, your storyline but really really ahead of

63
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: its time and an important conversation. But what a tough

64
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: character to play, because, like the I was so massive.

65
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: I can imagine that you must have really had trouble

66
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: when people watched it, when they saw you on the street. Well,

67
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: that's so funny that everyone says that to me. I'm

68
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm a chameleon basically, so I didn't get recognized very often.

69
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: And I also, right after I did that ark on No.

70
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: Two and oh, Aaron's spelling my one of my favorite

71
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: people in the world hired me for another job. So

72
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: I moved directly to Canada. Like the week after I finished,

73
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: I wrapped Now two and now, Oh that's awesome. What

74
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: was that job? It was called round Table. It was

75
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: a short lived series, um Roxanne Big Stacy, Hi Duke.

76
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: It was really really fun. I played a sociopath and

77
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: it was one of the best auditions I ever had.

78
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: And it was always for Aaron He I don't know.

79
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: He always brought the best out of me. Ah, that's

80
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: nice to hear. Yeah, we we hear that a lot.

81
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: He was such a great producer. Yeah, and very funny

82
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: and generous of his time. Talk into a room and

83
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: have everyone be warm and kind to you. Is you're

84
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: just gonna You're gonna shine. Yeah, so this is a

85
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: really important question. Did you know how to play volleyball?

86
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: Or were you faking that I knew nothing about something volleyball?

87
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: I was right. I was like, I would bet my

88
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: last dollar. She's never played volleyball before, never in my life,

89
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: and right here bruised and so painful. And like I

90
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: said on Pizzo, my hats are my hats off to

91
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: all volleyball players because it's really rough. What about your role?

92
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: What about your roller blading skill? Actually, Jason's a really

93
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: good skater, so he helped me. He did help you.

94
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: I love that montage with you guys skating down the

95
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: path and he's like holding your waist and helping you skate.

96
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: So cute. But we did have an issue with outfit

97
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: that what happened? How did that outfit make it to

98
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: the screen. Well, I don't want to insult anybody, but

99
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: I didn't have to say. Did you think when you

100
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: walked into your trailer and saw that hanging there? I

101
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: might have been a little horrified, But again, you're a

102
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: guest star, you don't really really we have to say,

103
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: Tori isn't here, but that was her favorite outfit. She's

104
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: not loved it, and Amy and I were like, uh,

105
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: maybe maybe for us Ammy it was just like the

106
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: usage of too many pads, like black white, black white black,

107
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: about the pads. Jason's not wearing any nothing at all?

108
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: Why do you look like a fragile middle thing. They

109
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: didn't want to hurt I will say, even though my

110
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: I had a strong dislike for Brook, I was so

111
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: done with her. But you rock a short haircut like

112
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: nobody that was you. Yeah, it's so sweet of you

113
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: to say I did love that haircut and was that

114
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: just a style that you had? And it was because

115
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: it was a bold haircut even even back then. I um,

116
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: I was fired from a job, from a job called

117
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: home Front, and it broke my heart into a trillion pieces,

118
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: and I went and I just cut all my hair off.

119
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: When that happened, oh my Goshend. And then cutting your

120
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: hair you had like a brittany moment. Yeah, well I

121
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: didn't go, oh my gosh, you you were. It was

122
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: like a little love triangle between Steve and Brooke and Jason.

123
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: So I'm just really curious, who did you think Brookes

124
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: should have been paired up with Well, I think Jason, Yeah,

125
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: why why why do you say? I just think there

126
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: was a lot of appeal, And I didn't really do

127
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: many scenes with I think he would just liked me,

128
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: But I didn't do a lot of scenes with him.

129
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: With all with Steve, Yeah, Steve was just kind of

130
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: chasing you around. Yeah, with you and no shirt on. Yeah,

131
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: and those and those shorts that would make anyone a

132
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: little nervous. But you had those. You did even even

133
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: though the relationship had so much friction, you had some

134
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: excellent kissing scenes. Yes, we want to know pretty much

135
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: all I did? How was How was the kissing? Well,

136
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun, says Jason Priestley. He's

137
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: a good kisser, very good kisser across the board, that's

138
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: what we heard. Yeah, I call that aggressive. I called

139
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: the aggressive kisser, but Iron corrected me and saying it's passionate.

140
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: But it is. He's very face grabby and very like

141
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: head on the bat. Yeah, he's I have to watch

142
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: this again. Really good. It was the Mustang. You also

143
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: got some spicy scenes in the Mustang. I did that

144
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: was fun. Wait, one question, why were you laying flat

145
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: in the Mustang. There was a scene where you and

146
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: Brandon roll up to the beach club and you're literally reclined, like,

147
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: I have no he's up here in your way back here.

148
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: That's so weird. I'm gonna watch it because I don't know.

149
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I think I think maybe the seat

150
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: was broken or something. I don't know. That is so funny,

151
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: it's so true, hilarious. I love hearing about it because

152
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: it is. It was. Brooke was interesting because she's a

153
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: real standout. You know, even this many years later, I

154
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: remembered her from the first couple of times I watched it,

155
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: remember it now, And she starts out strong and then

156
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: you're like, God, this girl sucks. So did you go

157
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: into it like I just want to know a little

158
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: bit about like because you had to make her likable,

159
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: because otherwise, why is this stead Why is Brandon gonna

160
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: like her? An Steve? But then you had to like

161
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: play it authentically of being really really difficult, And like

162
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: I said, I was going and I went into the

163
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: producers and said, I want this job. I got this job.

164
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: I want to play this part. It was so painful,

165
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: in fact, the lines that I had to say, were

166
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: just so when I would go home at night, I'd

167
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: be really depressed, like this is awful, and I get

168
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: back on a little bit. If I could have been

169
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: played a little lighter, I don't know. I don't know.

170
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: I think it served a purpose. I think that, you know,

171
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: the show was so um fortunate to do those kind

172
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: of serious subject matters, and I think that this one

173
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: needed to be done. Of course, Yeah, I agree. Did

174
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: you know that you're ranked tenth overall of Brandon's greatest lovers?

175
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: I didn't, but just tenth, not number one. No, you're

176
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: gonna give you. I'm gonna give you a trophy. We'll

177
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: talk it. Are talking to number one, Alex number one?

178
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: I know, of course, of course, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

179
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: I'll share it with you. Okay, thank you. I didn't

180
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: even know there was like this ranking system until today.

181
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: This is new to me. Yeah, Jenny was number one,

182
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: Emily Valentine number four, Niki fell in there somewhere, and yeah,

183
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean you made the list because there had to

184
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: have been more than ten. There had have been like

185
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: twenty people up for that. She was a standout brooke.

186
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: You remember her like as you're looking back on the series.

187
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: You go, oh yeah, I remember that, but yeah, not

188
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: pretty in me. Going back when I did pize show,

189
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: I did watch it a little bit. I don't remember

190
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: the reclining seat, but now you'll see it. I was.

191
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: I was shocked at how hard she actually is and

192
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: that would not go over today, Like I believe that

193
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: if she was around my daughter, she'd be canceled in

194
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: a second. Yeah, fascinating conversation. The difference between probably watching

195
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 1: her then and watching her now, we're even more just disgusted. Yeah, exactly,

196
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: it's just watching it back is cringe e Yeah, isn't it? Yeah?

197
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: And if that's why me though for a while, really

198
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: really no, I mean he stuck with me Jason scared?

199
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: Oh he did, he did because you were so cute.

200
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: What are you up to these days? Just raising my daughter?

201
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: She's actually a senior at cs Arts High School. You

202
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: have a senior? So fun, that's a great year. Just one,

203
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: just one? Okay? How many do you have? Three? Three?

204
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: And I wor to their ages? Oh gosh, four nineteen

205
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: and almost sixteen. Wow, and you look like you're thirty

206
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: special filter on this camera. Oh you look amazing too.

207
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: But I really was expecting the short hair. I don't

208
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: know why. I'm sorry. I guess I gotta cut my hair.

209
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: Can you pull it up or something for her? Just

210
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: like you know, Oh, there's there. She is that I

211
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: like to hide to. Other than Brooke being a terrible person,

212
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: she did have the iconic hair. I think later in

213
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: the series, Kelly cut cut a short pixie haircut just

214
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: like that one. Maybe you inspired that, maybe maybe I

215
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: think you did. You know who inspired my haircut actually

216
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: was when Julia Roberts cut all of her hair off

217
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: and she was on the cover of Vogue or I

218
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,359
Speaker 1: don't know what was it when she was like Wendy,

219
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: remember she played so it was a long time ago. Yeah, Well,

220
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: Julia Roberts inspired inspires a lot of people. She's something

221
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: that's a good one to look up to. Yeah right, Well,

222
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: raising your daughters is the best job you could ever

223
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: do out It really is. And I'll tell you. Reality

224
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: TV came in and I was watching an episode of

225
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: Oprah and she talked about eggs getting old and I said,

226
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not getting hired in Hollywood, so

227
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a baby. And that's what I did.

228
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: And it's sort of transition, and I closed that chapter

229
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: of my career and then my chapter of raising my daughter.

230
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: It's been the best thing I've ever done in my life,

231
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: my best creation. Of course, that's what I think too.

232
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: What do you ever think about going back? You know,

233
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: I do consider it sometimes, and I do miss it.

234
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: I missed the work, but I don't know that I

235
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: missed the business aspect of it. But the grind, I

236
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: don't know if I would want to do that. I've

237
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: just been so peaceful for so many years Pasadena. You know,

238
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: it's very peaceful in Pasadena people. It is. Yeah, but

239
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: I can tell you have a very serene energy about you,

240
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: and it only it must be attributed to not being

241
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: an actress anymore. Actually, no, no, no, no being erotic,

242
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: no worry about aging. Except today I was like, oh

243
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: my god, thirty years older. I know that's it happens.

244
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: It's uh, you can't stop what's coming. No, that's very true,

245
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: very true. You got to enjoy every moment because I

246
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: don't know how you're old. You are. But I'm coming

247
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: up on a milestone birthday and it can be very intimidating. Yes,

248
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: So I'm coming up on a big milestone myself, which

249
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: this one, I'm not mentioning it, Okay, I didn't want

250
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: to say it out loud. Yeah it's yours. Yeah, okay,

251
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about. I'm a few years um,

252
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: all right, okay, Well, age is just a number number.

253
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, this is so true. We're forever young.

254
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: Do you miss you know, like being in front of

255
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: the camera and acting like do you feel like I

256
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: know because I've done the same thing that you're talking

257
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: about when my daughters were young. I left the business

258
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: for two years and just moved out of town and

259
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: I told everybody I was retired. Moved I moved up

260
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: by Santa Barbara. Oh nice, and I told my manager,

261
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm retiring. I don't ever want to hear from you again.

262
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,239
Speaker 1: And then I don't know if something changed, and I

263
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: I got lured back to l A, probably because I

264
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: needed to make money. Sure, But I can relate to

265
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: giving up your career. Maybe your dreams you that you

266
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: used to have, or maybe they've just pivoted a little

267
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: and now your dreams are to be the best mom

268
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: that you can be. Yeah, it is the best job ever.

269
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: Really is the hardest, hardest, Yes, most painful, but it's good.

270
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: And my daughter wants to be an actress. Oh okay,

271
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: graduating from an art school and we'll see what happens there.

272
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: But she's so much better than me. Doesn't that get you?

273
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: My kids are all harder than me, prettier than me,

274
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: better than Everywhey. I'm it's good. I'm proud of that.

275
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, I'm doing good. Then I think so too. Yeah,

276
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,480
