<v Speaker 1>how are you? I'm good? How are you? We've only

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.599
<v Speaker 1>been like thirty years just a blink of an eye, right.

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>It's so fun catching up with people from the show,

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:41.239
<v Speaker 1>and we're really glad to have you. It's just me

<v Speaker 1>today and Amy, but we're so excited to talk to you. Thanks,

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 1>thanks for having me. Wait, first, where are you? Where

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>are you in Pasadena too? Oh? Yeah? Where? Well? I

0:00:52.960 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>can my address? Yeah? What straight? Don't you love Pasadena? Though? Love?

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I was born you were born here? That's right? Were

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>you have a rose Queen? No? I didn't go up here, Okay,

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>but I was born here and I moved to Virginia

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>when I was five. We're in Virginia Fairfax. Oh my gosh,

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:20.839
<v Speaker 1>my husband's from Virginia. This weird. Virginia beach. Oh beautiful.

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>So you play Brooke obviously you know that. But our listeners. Um,

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>she played Brooke and you were in three episodes of that,

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>some the summer episodes. Yes, it seems like much more.

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>That's weird. It seemed like you were really prominent. I

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>was going to say, like eight episodes. Wow, well that

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>would have been nice. I don't know. They can't keep

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the racist around for eight episodes, like you think she

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>broke the ice? Okay, good, okay, First walk us through.

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>How did you get the role of Brooke. Um? Well,

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I auditioned obviously for Aaron and Um. I remember walking

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>into the room with the producers because I remember when

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I got the script, I was like, this is my part.

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I want this part, and I said, I really think

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>that everybody has a little racism in them because of

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>their conditioning and their culture, and I want to play

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>this part. So when I walked into the room, I

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.919
<v Speaker 1>when I'm here, I've already had Luke because I worked

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>with him on Loving and now I want Jason. And

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>then I told him that I said, I feel everyone

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>has a little bit this in them, and I think

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>it's really really an important storyline to tell. I like

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>it that. She was like, I want I want Jason

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>now very yeah, assortive of you. I love that. I know,

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.399
<v Speaker 1>wasn't it already had Luke? So I didn't really have Luke.

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>What I really did say. It's so fascinating to me

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.399
<v Speaker 1>because I wondered if because in the first episode she's

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>much more likable and we don't see any of that yet,

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 1>so that a little bit. Yeah, it's so interesting to me.

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 1>You did know the trajectory of the character right from

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.920
<v Speaker 1>the oh yeah, oh yeah, because was an art because

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I was going to get dumped at the end. Yeah yeah, yeah,

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>so because yeah, as the audience, we we we we

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>wanted you to leave the audience. We're like, she can't

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>stay the people. Wait, okay, so people. Do people still

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 1>associate you with racist Brooke? Well, not me, because I

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>haven't been working for a very long time. I've been

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>raising my family and um. But when I went on

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Pete Show, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he said that, a

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of the fans were like, why are you having

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>her on? You're like, I'm not really a racist, I

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 1>just played one on TV. Yeah, exactly. It was interesting.

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>It was so ahead of its time, the show in general,

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and it was it was a little in our face.

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I would say, your storyline but really really ahead of

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>its time and an important conversation. But what a tough

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>character to play, because, like the I was so massive.

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I can imagine that you must have really had trouble

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>when people watched it, when they saw you on the street. Well,

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 1>that's so funny that everyone says that to me. I'm

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm a chameleon basically, so I didn't get recognized very often.

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>And I also, right after I did that ark on No.

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 1>Two and oh, Aaron's spelling my one of my favorite

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.039
<v Speaker 1>people in the world hired me for another job. So

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I moved directly to Canada. Like the week after I finished,

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I wrapped Now two and now, Oh that's awesome. What

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>was that job? It was called round Table. It was

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>a short lived series, um Roxanne Big Stacy, Hi Duke.

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>It was really really fun. I played a sociopath and

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 1>it was one of the best auditions I ever had.

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>And it was always for Aaron He I don't know.

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 1>He always brought the best out of me. Ah, that's

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 1>nice to hear. Yeah, we we hear that a lot.

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>He was such a great producer. Yeah, and very funny

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>and generous of his time. Talk into a room and

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>have everyone be warm and kind to you. Is you're

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.719
<v Speaker 1>just gonna You're gonna shine. Yeah, so this is a

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>really important question. Did you know how to play volleyball?

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Or were you faking that I knew nothing about something volleyball?

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>I was right. I was like, I would bet my

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>last dollar. She's never played volleyball before, never in my life,

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and right here bruised and so painful. And like I

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>said on Pizzo, my hats are my hats off to

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>all volleyball players because it's really rough. What about your role?

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 1>What about your roller blading skill? Actually, Jason's a really

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>good skater, so he helped me. He did help you.

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I love that montage with you guys skating down the

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 1>path and he's like holding your waist and helping you skate.

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>So cute. But we did have an issue with outfit

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:54.159
<v Speaker 1>that what happened? How did that outfit make it to

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the screen. Well, I don't want to insult anybody, but

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have to say. Did you think when you

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>walked into your trailer and saw that hanging there? I

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>might have been a little horrified, But again, you're a

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.039
<v Speaker 1>guest star, you don't really really we have to say,

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Tori isn't here, but that was her favorite outfit. She's

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>not loved it, and Amy and I were like, uh,

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe for us Ammy it was just like the

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 1>usage of too many pads, like black white, black white black,

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:33.480
<v Speaker 1>about the pads. Jason's not wearing any nothing at all?

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Why do you look like a fragile middle thing. They

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to hurt I will say, even though my

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I had a strong dislike for Brook, I was so

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>done with her. But you rock a short haircut like

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.919
<v Speaker 1>nobody that was you. Yeah, it's so sweet of you

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 1>to say I did love that haircut and was that

0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>just a style that you had? And it was because

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>it was a bold haircut even even back then. I um,

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I was fired from a job, from a job called

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 1>home Front, and it broke my heart into a trillion pieces,

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and I went and I just cut all my hair off.

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>When that happened, oh my Goshend. And then cutting your

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>hair you had like a brittany moment. Yeah, well I

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't go, oh my gosh, you you were. It was

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>like a little love triangle between Steve and Brooke and Jason.

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 1>So I'm just really curious, who did you think Brookes

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>should have been paired up with Well, I think Jason, Yeah,

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>why why why do you say? I just think there

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of appeal, And I didn't really do

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 1>many scenes with I think he would just liked me,

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't do a lot of scenes with him.

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 1>With all with Steve, Yeah, Steve was just kind of

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>chasing you around. Yeah, with you and no shirt on. Yeah,

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and those and those shorts that would make anyone a

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 1>little nervous. But you had those. You did even even

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 1>though the relationship had so much friction, you had some

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>excellent kissing scenes. Yes, we want to know pretty much

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 1>all I did? How was How was the kissing? Well,

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>it was a lot of fun, says Jason Priestley. He's

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 1>a good kisser, very good kisser across the board, that's

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>what we heard. Yeah, I call that aggressive. I called

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:41.320
<v Speaker 1>the aggressive kisser, but Iron corrected me and saying it's passionate.

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 1>But it is. He's very face grabby and very like

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>head on the bat. Yeah, he's I have to watch

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>this again. Really good. It was the Mustang. You also

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.679
<v Speaker 1>got some spicy scenes in the Mustang. I did that

0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 1>was fun. Wait, one question, why were you laying flat

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>in the Mustang. There was a scene where you and

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Brandon roll up to the beach club and you're literally reclined, like,

0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I have no he's up here in your way back here.

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 1>That's so weird. I'm gonna watch it because I don't know.

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember. I think I think maybe the seat

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>was broken or something. I don't know. That is so funny,

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>it's so true, hilarious. I love hearing about it because

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>it is. It was. Brooke was interesting because she's a

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>real standout. You know, even this many years later, I

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.320
<v Speaker 1>remembered her from the first couple of times I watched it,

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.559
<v Speaker 1>remember it now, And she starts out strong and then

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:53.839
<v Speaker 1>you're like, God, this girl sucks. So did you go

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>into it like I just want to know a little

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>bit about like because you had to make her likable,

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 1>because otherwise, why is this stead Why is Brandon gonna

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>like her? An Steve? But then you had to like

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:10.440
<v Speaker 1>play it authentically of being really really difficult, And like

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, I was going and I went into the

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 1>producers and said, I want this job. I got this job.

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to play this part. It was so painful,

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>in fact, the lines that I had to say, were

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 1>just so when I would go home at night, I'd

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.839
<v Speaker 1>be really depressed, like this is awful, and I get

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>back on a little bit. If I could have been

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 1>played a little lighter, I don't know. I don't know.

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it served a purpose. I think that, you know,

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the show was so um fortunate to do those kind

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 1>of serious subject matters, and I think that this one

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:48.200
<v Speaker 1>needed to be done. Of course, Yeah, I agree. Did

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you know that you're ranked tenth overall of Brandon's greatest lovers?

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't, but just tenth, not number one. No, you're

0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna give you. I'm gonna give you a trophy. We'll

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 1>talk it. Are talking to number one, Alex number one?

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I know, of course, of course, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll share it with you. Okay, thank you. I didn't

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.199
<v Speaker 1>even know there was like this ranking system until today.

0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 1>This is new to me. Yeah, Jenny was number one,

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Emily Valentine number four, Niki fell in there somewhere, and yeah,

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean you made the list because there had to

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>have been more than ten. There had have been like

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty people up for that. She was a standout brooke.

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 1>You remember her like as you're looking back on the series.

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>You go, oh yeah, I remember that, but yeah, not

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>pretty in me. Going back when I did pize show,

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.079
<v Speaker 1>I did watch it a little bit. I don't remember

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the reclining seat, but now you'll see it. I was.

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I was shocked at how hard she actually is and

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>that would not go over today, Like I believe that

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 1>if she was around my daughter, she'd be canceled in

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 1>a second. Yeah, fascinating conversation. The difference between probably watching

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:12.719
<v Speaker 1>her then and watching her now, we're even more just disgusted. Yeah, exactly,

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 1>it's just watching it back is cringe e Yeah, isn't it? Yeah?

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 1>And if that's why me though for a while, really

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 1>really no, I mean he stuck with me Jason scared?

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh he did, he did because you were so cute.

0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 1>What are you up to these days? Just raising my daughter?

0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.080
<v Speaker 1>She's actually a senior at cs Arts High School. You

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>have a senior? So fun, that's a great year. Just one,

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 1>just one? Okay? How many do you have? Three? Three?

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:51.839
<v Speaker 1>And I wor to their ages? Oh gosh, four nineteen

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and almost sixteen. Wow, and you look like you're thirty

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.199
<v Speaker 1>special filter on this camera. Oh you look amazing too.

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>But I really was expecting the short hair. I don't

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>know why. I'm sorry. I guess I gotta cut my hair.

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Can you pull it up or something for her? Just

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 1>like you know, Oh, there's there. She is that I

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 1>like to hide to. Other than Brooke being a terrible person,

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 1>she did have the iconic hair. I think later in

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the series, Kelly cut cut a short pixie haircut just

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 1>like that one. Maybe you inspired that, maybe maybe I

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 1>think you did. You know who inspired my haircut actually

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 1>was when Julia Roberts cut all of her hair off

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and she was on the cover of Vogue or I

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:39.359
<v Speaker 1>don't know what was it when she was like Wendy,

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:47.079
<v Speaker 1>remember she played so it was a long time ago. Yeah, Well,

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Julia Roberts inspired inspires a lot of people. She's something

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.199
<v Speaker 1>that's a good one to look up to. Yeah right, Well,

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 1>raising your daughters is the best job you could ever

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 1>do out It really is. And I'll tell you. Reality

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.200
<v Speaker 1>TV came in and I was watching an episode of

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Oprah and she talked about eggs getting old and I said,

0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.600
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'm not getting hired in Hollywood, so

0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have a baby. And that's what I did.

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.320
<v Speaker 1>And it's sort of transition, and I closed that chapter

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 1>of my career and then my chapter of raising my daughter.

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 1>It's been the best thing I've ever done in my life,

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 1>my best creation. Of course, that's what I think too.

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>What do you ever think about going back? You know,

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I do consider it sometimes, and I do miss it.

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I missed the work, but I don't know that I

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>missed the business aspect of it. But the grind, I

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I would want to do that. I've

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>just been so peaceful for so many years Pasadena. You know,

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 1>it's very peaceful in Pasadena people. It is. Yeah, but

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you have a very serene energy about you,

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 1>and it only it must be attributed to not being

0:14:56.200 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 1>an actress anymore. Actually, no, no, no, no being erotic,

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 1>no worry about aging. Except today I was like, oh

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>my god, thirty years older. I know that's it happens.

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.960
<v Speaker 1>It's uh, you can't stop what's coming. No, that's very true,

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 1>very true. You got to enjoy every moment because I

0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know how you're old. You are. But I'm coming

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>up on a milestone birthday and it can be very intimidating. Yes,

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 1>So I'm coming up on a big milestone myself, which

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.560
<v Speaker 1>this one, I'm not mentioning it, Okay, I didn't want

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 1>to say it out loud. Yeah it's yours. Yeah, okay,

0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 1>that's what we're talking about. I'm a few years um,

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:46.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, okay, Well, age is just a number number.

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, come on, this is so true. We're forever young.

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you miss you know, like being in front of

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the camera and acting like do you feel like I

0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>know because I've done the same thing that you're talking

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 1>about when my daughters were young. I left the business

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 1>for two years and just moved out of town and

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I told everybody I was retired. Moved I moved up

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 1>by Santa Barbara. Oh nice, and I told my manager,

0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm retiring. I don't ever want to hear from you again.

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:18.239
<v Speaker 1>And then I don't know if something changed, and I

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I got lured back to l A, probably because I

0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 1>needed to make money. Sure, But I can relate to

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 1>giving up your career. Maybe your dreams you that you

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 1>used to have, or maybe they've just pivoted a little

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and now your dreams are to be the best mom

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.720
<v Speaker 1>that you can be. Yeah, it is the best job ever.

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Really is the hardest, hardest, Yes, most painful, but it's good.

0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>And my daughter wants to be an actress. Oh okay,

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 1>graduating from an art school and we'll see what happens there.

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:58.400
<v Speaker 1>But she's so much better than me. Doesn't that get you?

0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.480
<v Speaker 1>My kids are all harder than me, prettier than me,

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.680
<v Speaker 1>better than Everywhey. I'm it's good. I'm proud of that.

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm like, I'm doing good. Then I think so too. Yeah,

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:14.480
