1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Wow. Today's guest has a really, really especially interesting life.

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: She is knighted, her mother was a prisoner of war.

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: She's involved with all kinds of causes as had a

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: incredible career as an actress. So many, so many interesting

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: life experiences. Today's guest is the fabulous Jane Seymour. So

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: lean in. I think you're going to enjoy this. I'm

7
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: very very excited to be here today with Jane Seymour,

8
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: the iconic Jane Seymour. First off, Jane, let me apologize

9
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: for my technical ineptitude. I usually am so good at

10
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: getting these things dialed in, but for some reason today

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: you were very very patient to sit there and wait

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: for me to work out my knucklehead gear. Here, I'm

13
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: as I just said to you, I'm on the road

14
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: in a hotel room, and where are you? I mean,

15
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this beautiful background.

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: I'm at home, and yes, it's my living room, and

17
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: I think behind me is a painting of two of everything.

18
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: I think I got left in Bali a million years ago,

19
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: but then I had twins, so I've kept it up

20
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: there in two of everything.

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: Ah, that's great, So you have twins. How old are your.

22
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: Twins almost twenty eight. Wow.

23
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: Wow? And how many children do you have?

24
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: Four that I gave birth to and six that I

25
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: helped raise total.

26
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: Very very little known fact. My mother was a twin,

27
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: as was as is my brother's wife. So my brother Michael,

28
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: who I'm in a band with, married a twin, and

29
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: our mom was a twin. And I'll never forget. I

30
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: was a child and I had never met my aunt,

31
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: and she lived in a ranch in californ and we

32
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: grew up in the city in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. And one

33
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: day I woke up and as I'm coming downstairs into

34
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: the living room, I see this woman that's sitting on

35
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: the couch and it's not my mother, but it looks

36
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: exactly like my mother. And nobody, nobody had told me

37
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: about this, Like I didn't know anything. It totally freaked

38
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: me out such a why would you? I don't know.

39
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: It's just that no one, no one really warm. I

40
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: don't think anybody ever told. But this was the difference

41
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: was that she had lipstick on and my mother never

42
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: wore a lipstick, and that and I So I've always

43
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: had this kind of odd sort of relationship. Boy, I've

44
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: gone way too deep into this. How are you? How

45
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: are you? I'm very well, Thank you so much for

46
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: being here. So tell me where where did you grow up?

47
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: I grew up in Merton Park. It's very close to Wimbledon.

48
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: I was born in Hillingdon, Middlesex, so between Merton Park

49
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: and then Hillingdon, Middlesex, which is basically pretty close to

50
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: the airport in London. London.

51
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: Yes, and when did you come to the States.

52
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: I came permanently in seventy six and i'd been out

53
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: for when I had been filming, and I have been

54
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: told in England that I could only play exotics. I

55
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: don't know what that was all about, and that I

56
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: didn't look or sound like the girl next door. And

57
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: a wonderful casting director in America had met me and said,

58
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: if you can come to America and news your English accent,

59
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: you'll never stop working. So I just thought, oh, I'll

60
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: come to America. But it wasn't that easy. I didn't

61
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: have a work permit, I had a visitor's visa, and

62
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: my agent asked me to leave because he said it

63
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: was the worst mistake of my life. And I had

64
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: six weeks in which to make it. And I'm still here.

65
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: Wow, that's amazing. You know, eighteen seventy six was was

66
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: a big year for me because that's when I decided

67
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: to pack my bags as a kid in Philadelphia and

68
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: go to New York and try to become an actor.

69
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: Really too.

70
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't know what your feeling was a

71
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: lot of people, I mean, when you were in you

72
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: came to California, right, and I was moving to New York.

73
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: But a lot of people have said to me, what

74
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: a terrifying time to be in New York. You know,

75
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 1: it was coming up on the Summer of sam and

76
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: they were making all those Charles Bronson movies where you know,

77
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: everyone's you know, New York is a terrible place to

78
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: live in the whole thing. And I was like, you kidding.

79
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: I loved it. I thought the seventies were amazing. I

80
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: thought it was a great, great time. It was a

81
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: little nuts, but I loved it. How was LA in

82
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy six?

83
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: It was pretty amazing. And I found myself hanging out

84
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: with new friends like Harry Nielsen and Van Dyke Parks

85
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: and all these kind of amazing musicians as well. So

86
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: I had a really great time. And once I got

87
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 2: my first job. Then I never stopped, so that was

88
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: really lucky, and my work took me everywhere. But then

89
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: what happened is having moved to America because they didn't

90
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: want to hire me in England because I didn't fit

91
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: what they were looking for. Pretty much every movie I

92
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: did from America sent me back to England to start

93
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: in the movie. I mean, go figure, I had to

94
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: come all the way to America to be considered American

95
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: worthy to then be hired to play in an English

96
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: movie in England. So I kept going back to England

97
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: and playing all these wonderful classic characters in England.

98
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: What about You wasn't what they were looking for in

99
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: the UK, I'm fascinated by that.

100
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 2: Well, they were looking for someone that looked like the

101
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: average woman next door, girl next door, and my accent

102
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: was probably considered to be not colloquial enough, and because

103
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 2: they were really looking for kind of, you know, someone

104
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: from from southern London, it took a bit lo that

105
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: or whatever. But anyway, the ridiculous thing is that I

106
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: could play every accent. I used to do radio plays

107
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: and everything in England. I mean, I can do West Country,

108
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: I could do anything. So when I came to America,

109
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: that was just another accent. It was rather silly. But

110
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: you know, if you're English and you aren't from the

111
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: stand or whatever, they wouldn't they wouldn't accept it. So

112
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think also I think there was

113
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: a stigma about.

114
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: Being you know, in the Bond franchise, and and you know,

115
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 3: I I went back into the theater to enormous amount

116
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: of theater straight after that, and.

117
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 2: That's that's from how I got over it. That and

118
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: then came to America where they didn't care. They were

119
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: fine about me had done that. That was so a problem.

120
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's I mean, it's so interesting. I often

121
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: talk to people about how, you know, the UK is

122
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: a fascinating place in the way that people are so

123
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: specifically defined by the way that they speak, in a

124
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: way that we're not really here. I mean, you can

125
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: kind of tell that somebody is from an urban place

126
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: or from the East coast, or you can kind of say, well,

127
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of times we sort

128
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: of lump a southern accent into one thing, whereas actually

129
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different kinds and all that kind

130
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: of stuff. But we don't do that thing of going, yes,

131
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: he's from Birmingham, and he's you know, from these like

132
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: a working class kid from Birmingham, and I know exactly

133
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: who that person is. And and conversely, there's also this

134
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: thing that I've noticed where people actors sometimes who don't

135
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: have who have a more kind of posh sounding accent,

136
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: will sort of rough it up a little just to

137
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: be legitimate, because it because you're not going to be

138
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: really legitimate if you sound like John Gilgod.

139
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: You know, yes, no, definitely, And I mean instell of

140
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: acting has changed too, but right, right, right, but you

141
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: know you're I mean, I know if I if I

142
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: were to become less pronounced English, obviously it's more acceptable.

143
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: The interesting thing is that I was told that Americans,

144
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: you know, when they watched film or television, don't want

145
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: to hear foreign accents. They want to hear their own Americans.

146
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: So I played Americans exclusively for years and years and years.

147
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: In fact, at one point I was had lunch at ABC.

148
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: I had done a bunch of movies and TV shows

149
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: for them, and and they asked me if I'd like

150
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: some wine, and I said, oh, I'd love a glass

151
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: and white wine please. So they said, what's with the

152
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: phony British accents, because I realized that, you know, whenever

153
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: I went up for a job or I worked, I

154
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: never broke, you know, out of the American accents. And

155
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: they actually thought I was an American and they weren't shock.

156
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: They thought I was putting on some sort of you know,

157
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: fancy fancy noise for them.

158
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: Oh that is that is brilliant. Oh my gosh, that's amazing.

159
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: Well do you have a place in London anymore anymore?

160
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: No, No, I don't. I used to have a beautiful

161
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: home that was over a thousand years old well Saint

162
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: Catherine's Court and Radiohead recorded okay computer there, Oh my God,

163
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: and the Cure recorded two albums there. Johnny Cash was there,

164
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: John Barry. It had the best sound in England in

165
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: this one room. Peter Gabriel kept trying to buy it,

166
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 2: but I apparently bought it before he could. He apparently

167
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: used to drive past it three times a week. Go

168
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: I should have had that house. So I had that

169
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: for twenty six years, and then jan was in the country.

170
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: It was in the country.

171
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: In the country, yes, and near the city of Bath.

172
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: So it was built in nine hundred and fifty. So

173
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: when my American friends who had come, and they'd wake

174
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: up and have breakfast in the morning, and I'd say,

175
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: you are now sitting in a room that has you know,

176
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: apart from the central heating, it hasn't changed since nine

177
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty. They couldn't wrap their heads around the

178
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 2: fact that this house was four times older than their country.

179
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: Oh my, that is just in incredible Wow. Okay, so so,

180
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 1: but I have to have to dig into this a

181
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: little bit. So did they? Did radio Head rent it

182
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: from you to be able to wow? So they said,

183
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean, had the any had people recorded there before?

184
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: I mean the Cure, the Cure before, okay and.

185
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: The Cure of friends of radio So he told they

186
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: told them, and then apparently, according to my kids, this

187
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: is my greatest claim to fame is that I owned

188
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 2: the house and rented it so that Okay computer could happen.

189
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 4: That's pretty cool, though, I mean, it's an iconic, iconic album.

190
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: Clearly, did they trash the joint?

191
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: No? No, they were delightful men, delightful. I mean, it's

192
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: really interesting. So some of them not somewhat punky between

193
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 2: them and the Cure. But the feedback I got was

194
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: they were delightful men.

195
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: That's so, that's so great. Well, I love I love England.

196
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: I I do these commercials over there, so I've ended

197
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: up spending a lot of time and just for some

198
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: reason shot I guess maybe three movies back back to back,

199
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: and uh, it's interesting, you know for a and I've

200
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: lived in, like I said, in New York since seventy

201
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: six and grew up in Philadelphia, and London is like

202
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: a really super comfortable place for me to be just

203
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: because I'm used to places where you have to you know,

204
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: take the subway and do a lot of walking and

205
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: being you know, kind of surrounded by people and just

206
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: kind of navigating streets. All the streets are a little

207
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: harder to navigate. I have to see it, but but

208
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: I really do. I love being there and it's always me.

209
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: Too, Yeah, me too. I mean, it's it's beautiful. It's

210
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: a fantastic country. I think. You know, the big difference

211
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: is America is bossed and you're just every state is

212
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: completely different in some ways. And in England it's sort

213
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: of quirky and old and and it's small, it's a

214
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: little island, and you know, it's it's amazing. You can

215
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: just literally go down the street and everyone's speaking completing differently.

216
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: It's so true, as you said, Yeah, it's so true. Okay.

217
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: And speaking of which, you got an ob eve from

218
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: the Queen for those of us, for us American dummies,

219
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: explained to us what that is.

220
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 2: Well, we've heard of people being knighted sir or lord.

221
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: That's the highest level beneath being a sir. If you're

222
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: a woman, if you're going to be the equivalent of

223
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: the sir knighthood, you get called a dame like Dame

224
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: Helen Merrin or Dame Judy Dench. Below that. Before you

225
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: become a dame, you become an officer of the British Empire,

226
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: which is what I am. Which the Beatles were at

227
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: one point, or at least they were offered it. I

228
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: think they might have whether they accept it in.

229
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: The end, I think one day yeah, something like that.

230
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's it's a pretty prestigious. But what's lovely

231
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: about it is it's really for representing your country and

232
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: serving your country, not just in what I do for

233
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 2: a living, but also in philanthropy. So that's what I

234
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 2: got it for, and so I'm very proud of it.

235
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 2: I so my actual name in England would be Jane

236
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: seymour Obe.

237
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool, Yeah, that's that's my title? Was that?

238
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: I mean, what was what's that like? Just as a day?

239
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I know there's you know, hey, I watched

240
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: the Crown. There's got to be a lot of sort

241
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: of pomp and circumstance and a whole bunch of rules

242
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: and the things you got to do and you don't do.

243
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: I mean, whenever I see those situations where I read

244
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: about those things, I always think to myself, I know

245
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: I would mess this up. I just know that I

246
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: would do something that wasn't wasn't right.

247
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 2: It's actually it's the coolest things. First of all, they

248
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: tell you in secrets, so you're not like to tell

249
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: anyone for months, and if you do tell anyone or

250
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: anyone finds out, they'll take it away from you before

251
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: you get kidding me. Wow. No. And actually my mentor

252
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 2: from ballet school is a wonderful choreographer and was a

253
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: male leading dancer in the line of festival called Ben

254
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: Stephenson ran She'ston Ballet and then Ballet Texas. Anyway, he

255
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: called me up and said, guess what I got? The

256
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: ob and I went, I couldn't tell him that I

257
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: had it too, so I said, Ben, are you sure

258
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: you're supposed to be telling people I don't don't Anyway,

259
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: randomly I ended up having getting my obia on exactly

260
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: the same day as him, So we were there together,

261
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: which was absolutely magical. And at the palace it is

262
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: pomp and circumstances, but the people there are just so

263
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: lovely and they they make light of the whole thing

264
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: and said, well, you know, go learn how to bound

265
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: Curtsey and you're good to meet the Queen. You have

266
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,119
Speaker 2: to you know, you have to walk three paces backwards

267
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: afterwards in bowen and same ma'am and all of that,

268
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: so they give you a sort of crash course in it.

269
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: But it was absolutely magical. My mother was there and

270
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: I mean she was so proud and so excited. You know,

271
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: none of my family ever thought I'd ever do anything.

272
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I was a ballet dancer who was born

273
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: with flat feed as speech impediments, so the chances of

274
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: me had been working as a dancer was slim to none,

275
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: and they were all totally against it. Used to saying

276
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: don't put your daughter on the stage, missus Worthington to

277
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: me all the time, and I was just obsessed. I

278
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: was determined. And I actually started out as a dancer

279
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: who sang and then became an actress who you know

280
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: occasionally dances.

281
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: Oh wow, wow wow. And was your friend surprised to

282
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: see you there?

283
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: Yes?

284
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: Had you? Had you since? Had you since? Let them know?

285
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: I he got to know when it was announced in

286
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: the world it was the New Year's Honor's list, and

287
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: then he found out, and then I told him. But

288
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: they had different dates when you go, and they knight

289
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: people at the same time, so they do all the

290
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: knighthood stuff as well. You're in the same group with

291
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: everybody else.

292
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: You know. What I'm struck with talking to you is

293
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: you seem to have just a tremendous amount of energy

294
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: and spirit. And I mean, it's it's it's it's as

295
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: though I can just kind of feel your power through

296
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: this you know, headphone and computer thing. And I'm wondering,

297
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: if you know, I'm coming to the point now in

298
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: my life where a lot of people around me or

299
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: also people have kind of implied to me questions about

300
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: are you ready to start, you know, taking your foot

301
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: off the gas in whatever reason that is, and that

302
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be coming from you, as far as

303
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: I can tell you. No.

304
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: Actually, I would say the most amazing. Well, you know,

305
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: for actresses, it's usually you're pretty down at fourteen. At

306
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: forty I got this little series called Doctor Gwinn, which

307
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 2: no one ever thought be a series. And then now

308
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: at seventy I got another series in Ireland called Harry Wild,

309
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 2: and that's taken off in fact, her second season I

310
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: think just starts today. But I'm I mean, I'm just

311
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 2: so blessed. And I also produce, I write books. I'm

312
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 2: writing a crime novel at the moment, I'm doing my memoirs.

313
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: I run philanthropy. I'm very involved in that. I'm a

314
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: public speaker. I'm a painter, sculpturests. I have major sculptures

315
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: of open hearts going up in major cities. And I've

316
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 2: become very much an advocate and talk a great deal

317
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: about aging gracefully and about Alzheimer's and dementia. I made

318
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 2: a documentary with Glenn Campbell called I'll be Me All

319
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: About Yeah.

320
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: By the way, I love that documentary. How did you

321
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: happen to get involved with that? I wanted to ask

322
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: you about that.

323
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: Well, So I have four kids I get birth to,

324
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: and of the twins, one of them we randomly called

325
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: Johnny Keach after Johnny Cash, was our very close friend

326
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 2: because he was on Doctor Quinn several times. And the

327
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 2: other one we called Chris after Chris Reeve. So Johnny

328
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 2: turns out to become a rock musician, a great singer songwriter.

329
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 2: When my son was on tour, he was opening originally

330
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: he was opening for Cheap Trick when he was fifteen,

331
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: up and down in Europe and up and down the

332
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 2: West Coast, and I was a band's worst nightmare. A mody.

333
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 2: What is a mody, you may ask. It is a

334
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: mother roady. It's what you really don't want but you

335
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: absolutely needed. He said, Mom, we can get ourselves up.

336
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: We're a band, we can go. We can get up.

337
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 2: And I said really. And so the next morning they

338
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: were not up. So I knocked him the door and

339
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 2: I said, what happened, guys? You know you're late? And

340
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: they said the alarm didn't go up, and I said,

341
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 2: what do you do? He said, we called the front desk.

342
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 2: It didn't they didn't call And I said, why is

343
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 2: the phone off the hook? And they said, we didn't

344
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 2: want to be disturbed. That's why you need a mother roady.

345
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: That's the greatest.

346
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: If you want to hear him, he's under Johnny Keach

347
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: k E A H. And he was discovered at thirteen

348
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: by some from Warner Brothers. And the next time we

349
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 2: know that producer Julian Raymond came to us one day

350
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 2: having worked with Johnny and his band they were now

351
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: fifteen years old maybe, and said, I've just finished doing

352
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: Glenn Campbell's latest album and he's got to go on tour,

353
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: but he's got Alzheimer's and so we're worried that he

354
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 2: can't even perform, let alone tour. But somebody's got to

355
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: make a movie of this, so documented and we had

356
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 2: made the movie Walk the Line about Johnny Cash. Johnny

357
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 2: Cash gave us the rights to his life. We worked

358
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: on it Jim Mangel. They ended up directing it, but

359
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 2: somehow my name was not all the credits, which is interesting,

360
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 2: probably why I'm tervorced. But we worked from that for

361
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: eleven years. So they knew the Campbell's knew that we

362
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 2: could be trusted, and we met with Glenn and he

363
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 2: was hilarious. So we just thought, Okay, we'll try this,

364
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: and it was in the most amazing experience. But it

365
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: all came because of Julian and Raymond, and it was

366
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: an extraordinary experience. I mean, to this day, I'm very

367
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: close to all the Campbell's. I certainly learned more about

368
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 2: Alzheimer's could possibly imagine. The last thing to go with

369
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: Glenn was his music. He could still sing and play.

370
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: Of course, he'd repeat the song, so you had to

371
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 2: kind of make sure that he didn't. And at one point,

372
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 2: after we'd finished filming and things were really getting bad,

373
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: I took him into my art studio and he'd never

374
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: painted before, and I gave him a palette knife and

375
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: his favorite colors and a big canvas and he did

376
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: three amazing canvases whilst singing Rhystone Cowboy. And meanwhile, his wife,

377
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 2: Kim was at another easel, which we unfotunately didn't film,

378
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: and she ended up painting a big, dark, black ray

379
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: hole because that's where she was, and he was out

380
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: there on you know, all these beautiful bright blues and greens, reds,

381
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: just you know, very vibrant and lively and around him.

382
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 2: You know, it was his caregiver who was having a

383
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 2: really rough time just seeing what she comes out of art.

384
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: You know, that is it's so interesting what comes out

385
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: of art. And I honestly think that there's a lot

386
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: to be said for just somebody that says, I just

387
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: don't I don't paint, I don't draw, I don't do art,

388
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: or I don't sculpt or whatever. It is just putting

389
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: the putting the whatever the medium is in their hands

390
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: and seeing seeing what comes out. I mean, it's it's,

391
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: it's it's it's fascinating, probably sometimes insightful and and and

392
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: in this case maybe you know, therapeutic to a certain extent. Uh,

393
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: I had a you know, I love Glenn Campbell, you know,

394
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: as a singer, is an incredible guitar player. Kind of

395
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: people don't even a lot of people don't know that

396
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: that that was a lot of what he did was

397
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: just amazing session playing. And if anybody hasn't seen this movie,

398
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: get Glenn Campbell. Uh, I'll be me, I'll be me,

399
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: I'll be me.

400
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: Right.

401
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: It's actually interesting when we made it, Glenn forgets who

402
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: we were, even though we were working with the Membridge.

403
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 2: And one day he said, I'm doing what he said,

404
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: We're making it feel like your life. He said, you are,

405
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: and then he paused and he said, I'll be meet.

406
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: Oh so that's how we got the title. He came

407
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: out in his mouth, he said, oh, well then I'll

408
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: be meaty. Great. That was it done? And does it?

409
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 2: It is a fantastic documentary.

410
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: I was on a flight with him one time and

411
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: I was so excited to be on the airplane with

412
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: and he was kind of you know, you could kind

413
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: of see that he was sort of in and out

414
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: and I wasn't. We had a we had an exchange,

415
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: you know, by the by the bathroom on you know,

416
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: kind of passing the bathroom and and you know, he

417
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I wasn't really sure if if he recognized

418
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: me or you know, knew who I was. He was

419
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: very very sweet, very friendly, and then when we were

420
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: getting off the plane, he handed me a signature pick

421
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: guitar pick. Yeah, and I was, I was, I was

422
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: just you know, it's just one of those moments. I'm

423
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: never all that jazz or thunderstruck when I meet actors,

424
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: because I work with actors all the time, and you know,

425
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: but when it comes to you know, sort of heroic, iconic, musicians,

426
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, that always kind of hits me, and that

427
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: was that was a great moment meeting Case. Yeah, yeah,

428
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: he was. He was quite quite an interesting man and

429
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: just a great spirit and obviously great musician. Tell me

430
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: about your art, I mean there's some there's you're doing

431
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: so much. There's so much to talk about, Uh, I

432
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: want to know. Let me ask you first about the sculpture.

433
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I'll just backtrack in that I

434
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 2: could have gone to college to do art, but I

435
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: was a ballet dancer and wanting to be an actress,

436
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: so I didn't. And I also, at the age of

437
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 2: fifteen because my parents couldn't afford my education, that learned

438
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 2: the ballet shoes I used to design to make my

439
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 2: own clothes and embroider and nets and crochet and sell them.

440
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 2: So I had a business at fifteen making his things.

441
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: So by the time I turned forty, I went through

442
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 2: a terrible divorce, lost everything, and literally it was you know,

443
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 2: nine million in the red the lawsuits from every major bank,

444
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: including the FDIC, and I gave the last money I

445
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 2: had with a child abuse organization called child Help, and

446
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: in return for an artist to a drawing of my children,

447
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 2: because I didn't understand what bankruptcy was. And he saw

448
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: my finger paintings in the house and just said, oh,

449
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: do paint as it not really, and he gave me

450
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: free lessons. So I started out with nothing but the

451
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 2: ability to do watercolors. And so when I immediately went

452
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: and did dot Quinn, I would paint on set. You know,

453
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: other people did the crossword puzzle, all learn their lines.

454
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 2: I learnt my lines whilst painting watercolors. And then I

455
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 2: ended up, you know, on a credit card for Discover

456
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 2: with my painings in the Gougennheim, and then in a book,

457
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: and then you know, all kinds of things. Corbelle asked

458
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 2: me to do a champagne bottle and then and then

459
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 2: I was asked to you a campaign for women's heart health,

460
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: and so obviously you draw a heart, but I left

461
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 2: the heart open. I thought that's interesting, and why did

462
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 2: I do that? And I thought, well, my mother, you know,

463
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: who had gone through World War Two in a Japanese

464
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 2: prisoner of war camp three and a half years. She

465
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 2: was a Dutch native of living in Indonesia, had always

466
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: told me that in life everyone has challenge and when

467
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 2: they do the natural thing is you close off your

468
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: heart and you don't let anyone know. And it's like

469
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: a long playing record with a scratch in it, and

470
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 2: it's just this story goes round around. You just can't

471
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 2: get out, you can't move forward. Said the hardest thing

472
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: to do in life is to accept the unacceptable. But

473
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: if you can, and you can open up your heart

474
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: and reach out to help someone else, you will have purpose.

475
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 2: And said that is the key to happiness in life,

476
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 2: is you have a purpose. And she said, and you've

477
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 2: been through something, you see someone who's going down, you

478
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 2: know that that path, and you can help them in

479
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: some way. And so I thought, well, that's like two

480
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 2: hearts that connect. So I drew one heart and connected

481
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: it to the other heart. And at first it looks

482
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: and I went, oh, it's like booms in the butt.

483
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: We all are. And now no, actually there's something very iconic.

484
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: It's almost it's almost like an infinity. But it was

485
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: too hot, so I I said, you know, maybe I

486
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: should trademark this, and my then husband, James Keep, said,

487
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 2: don't be ridiculous. You can't trademark hearts. I said, well,

488
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: coming at least try, and it costs money. And the

489
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: next day, you know, the lawyer comes back and says,

490
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 2: you're not going to believe it, but Jane has actually

491
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: managed to trademark something that no one's been able to do.

492
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: So it became this image originally in watercolor, and then

493
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: I turned it into sculpture, and which is really lovely

494
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: because people go to, you know, different places where the

495
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 2: sculpture is and they get to pose there and climb

496
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 2: all over it, and you know, it's meaningful.

497
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: How do you actually do this? How do you do

498
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: sculpt I'm always amazing. It's because of some of your

499
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: sculpture is very large, right, Well, what you.

500
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: Do is you start with the small one, okay you

501
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: but you do. You have a wire underneath it, and

502
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 2: then you add the clay to it, and then you keep,

503
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: you know, sculpting away till it's the way you want it.

504
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: Because the interesting with sculpture it has to work three dimensionally,

505
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 2: So every time you've got it right in front of you,

506
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 2: then you turn its sight to the side and suddenly

507
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 2: you have to start all over again because it's listing

508
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 2: in the wrong directions. It's much harder to do than

509
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 2: you imagine. And I also sculpt people's faces and you know,

510
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 2: bodies as well. I learned how to do all it,

511
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 2: but this one, once I got it right as a

512
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 2: smaller sculpture, I then took it to a foundry and

513
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: I said, I want to now do an eight foot one,

514
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: and how do I do it? And so this sculpting

515
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 2: guy was fantastic. He built what they call an armature,

516
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 2: I think it's called so big, a big you know,

517
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: metal piece to go underneath. And then the first one

518
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: is done with polystyrene, you know, with that like that

519
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: stuff that people packing stuff, that white stuff. Until I

520
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: got that exactly right you could sculpt that. And then

521
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: he took it away and put it in what's called

522
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: lost wax, which is this very heavy, very very solid

523
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: red wax. And then I came in and sculpted into

524
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 2: that until it was right. And when that was right

525
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: to me, then they take it to a foundry. They

526
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 2: cut it into like three or four pieces, they make

527
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: a mold, they you know, they they do it in bronze,

528
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: and then they bring it back and solder it together.

529
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: I didn't do any of the soldering. I chose what

530
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: I wanted for the finish, and then I came in

531
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 2: and you know, sinessa with the finish, and that's it.

532
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: That's how you did.

533
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: Okay. So you wake up one morning, any morning, random morning,

534
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: and you say, okay, how are you going to break

535
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: down your day between working on your novel, sculpting, painting,

536
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: learning lines, working with the foundation, raising children a family.

537
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: I don't understand how that day breaks down.

538
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: Okay. Well, first of all, I'm very fortunate to have

539
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: a lovely home that has enough space in it to

540
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: have my art studio. I have a recording area, we

541
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: grow all our vegetables in the garden. We've got chickens,

542
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: so I don't actually really have to need the house.

543
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 2: If I didn't want to. I can do a lot

544
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: of it here. I you know, I obviously have a

545
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: point where things had to do if I'm filming. When

546
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: I was filming, I was in Ireland, So then I

547
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: have to move to a tiny little house and do

548
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 2: everything from there. And I'm a bit like you. I'm

549
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 2: not complete, you know. I can usually break it. Anything

550
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: to do with the computer, I can just look at

551
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: it and it doesn't work. But today I got lucky.

552
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: But otherwise I take my paints from me wherever I go,

553
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: I right wherever I am. I'm working on the memoir

554
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 2: with someone, so I can basically tell all the stories

555
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: and they'll put them in the right order and then

556
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: we'll both look at it again. So I do it

557
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: that way. When I produce depends on whether I'm producing

558
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 2: and I'm in it or not. I mean, you know

559
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: what that's like. But you surround yourself for the best,

560
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: so you know the art of delegation. But at the

561
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 2: same time, I'm really being on top of it, and

562
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm a multitasking I think when you have that many

563
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: children and grandchildren, you do other things in life. You

564
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: have to be a multitasker. And I can really focus

565
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: on one thing to the exclusion of everything else for

566
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: a while and then shut it off and then go

567
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: on to do something else. But yeah, I tide it.

Speaker 1: on Trina Pritchard, who is the director executive director of

580
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: your foundation. A lot of what this podcast is about

581
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: is being able to hang out in the first half

582
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: with someone like you, Jane, who is so incredible across

583
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: so many different parts of the entertainment industry, and just

584
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: be able to connect and shoot the breeze. But also

585
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: we want to give the microphone to the people who

586
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: are behind the scenes and running the foundations having to

587
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: do with the things that you care about. So, Trina,

588
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. Where are you?

589
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: Where are you right now?

590
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: Well, I'm actually in Jane's art gallery.

591
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 5: Jane has a beautiful art gallery in Westlake Village in California,

592
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 5: and she donates a portion of the office space to

593
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 5: the foundation so I can operate out of it.

594
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: Oh that's great, that's fantastic. I didn't I didn't realize that.

595
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: Is it are there? Is it mostly your work in there, Jane?

596
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 2: Or is a bunch of artists and my son sew

597
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: and Flynn Photography. You can check him out. We have

598
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: some of his work that I'm hoping to put my daughter,

599
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: Katie Jay Flynn in as well. She's been doing really

600
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 2: well with her photography. But otherwise it's pretty much mostly

601
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: mine and there's a lot there also the jewelry that

602
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 2: I did with Open Hearts, and also costumes from Dr

603
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: Quinn and some memorabilia and also some iconic photograph photographs

604
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 2: done by major people of me over the years. So

605
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: it's actually a really kind of fun place to visit.

606
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: It's sort of the world of Jane.

607
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: I was wondering if there were any of the you

608
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: said you started some of the doing the watercolor during

609
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: Doctor Quinn, and do you have any of those there?

610
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I have everything going back. In fact, I've even

611
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 2: managed to find pieces my mother had kept from that

612
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 2: I did when I was ten years old, so we

613
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: go all the way back. But yes, there's everthing's there.

614
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 2: I think Susan Nazelutz runs what's called Coral Canyon Publishing.

615
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: She works with me and she works out of there,

616
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: and I used to do about twelve woman shows all

617
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: over the country in Canada every year until I was

618
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: working too much as an actress and you know, COVID

619
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 2: and other kinds of things. But when we had COVID

620
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 2: and with the foundation, we kept asking ourselves, you know,

621
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: if we can't put on a big event, how do

622
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 2: we raise money out awareness. So one of the things

623
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 2: I did is I would teach art to people in

624
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 2: old people's homes who were stuck and couldn't even see

625
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: their relatives, and we'd paint together for a couple of hours.

626
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: And one time I also painted with a woman who

627
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 2: was wheelchair bounded, actually in hospice at the time. I

628
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 2: think she had als, and I actually showed her how

629
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: she could move one hand and the other and she

630
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 2: did all these amazing paintings just before she passed. So

631
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 2: we did a lot of that. So art was I

632
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: find very healing, and it's also been a great way

633
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 2: to raise funds for the foundation too.

634
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: So Trina tell us about the foundation, is what is

635
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: the work that you do?

636
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 5: Sure? So, I mean, you know, we were founded by

637
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 5: Jane's mother's philosophy.

638
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 2: If you guys have heard, you.

639
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 5: Know that in times of great trouble, you have to

640
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 5: accept what's happening and do what you can to help

641
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 5: others and by doing so, your heart remains open. So

642
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 5: this philosophy is really what drives the Foundation's mission and

643
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 5: it's it motivates us to keep going and help people

644
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 5: every single day. And it's over the years since we've

645
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 5: been around, we were founded in twenty ten, we've really

646
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 5: become a movement of like minded people working together for

647
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 5: the greater good. Mika really believes that where there was adversity,

648
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,959
Speaker 5: there is opportunity. In those internment camps, she really had

649
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 5: nothing but created so much for so many people and

650
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 5: helped others, and that's the way that she was able

651
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 5: to survive those conditions. And we relate the foundation identify

652
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 5: charities like that that are on the front lines, that

653
00:35:55,360 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 5: have limited resources, small and emerging charities. We've focused primarily

654
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 5: on women and children's issues, but a lot of people

655
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 5: that need help and we empower them through our grants

656
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 5: and through our volunteerism efforts.

657
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's interesting because generally I find that

658
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: well known people will pick one sort of wow, where

659
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:21,919
Speaker 1: did those balloons come from?

660
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: No idea, not me, It's just the energy that's flowing

661
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 2: with us. All.

662
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: Okay, for those of you who are seeing my zoom

663
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: just had balloons go up in the background.

664
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: Mind mind it too, yes, oh, used it too.

665
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: Wow. I wonder if I hope that is some kind

666
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: of strange act going on. Yeah, okay, well well let's yeah,

667
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: let's let's let's yeah, let's call it energy. Yeah. You know,

668
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: I uh, when when we started six degrees dot Org,

669
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: I was kind of struck with so many things that

670
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: I was kind of cared about and overwhelmed with. So

671
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: I think that in a lot of ways, it's it's

672
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: a little bit easier to just pick you know, whatever

673
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: it is the environment or or hunger or whales or

674
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and having there. But there

675
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: are similarities between our foundations in that it's it's a

676
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: it's more of a kind of across the board thing

677
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: and and a and a and an idea, I mean,

678
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 1: the idea of an open heart, the idea of uh

679
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: what your mom in that terrible situation, you know, discovered

680
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: about life and about human beings? Is is the is

681
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 1: the driving force of the of the foundation. It seems

682
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: to me.

683
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 2: Well, I think the real issue is I meet people

684
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 2: all the time who say, oh, I wish I knew

685
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 2: what to donate to I, you know, I don't really

686
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 2: know whether they actually get the money or whether they

687
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 2: should or how much they spend on other things. And

688
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 2: so what we really are doing, as as Traina says,

689
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 2: we're kind of a movement. We're kind of anyone really

690
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 2: wants to help, they can help with ten dollars, they

691
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 2: can help with time, they can buy by volunteering. We

692
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 2: have a whole volunteering program, and they can. You know,

693
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 2: people come to us with all these different organizations. We

694
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: vet them. There's thousands to go through to find the

695
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 2: right ones, but we do. We We thought, rather than

696
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 2: reinventing whatever is there and being yet another you know,

697
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 2: comes throughout Alzheimer's or heart disease or environment, we wanted

698
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 2: to fill in the gaps where there was normous need

699
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 2: and the amount of money we would give them would

700
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 2: go much further than it would anywhere else. So we're

701
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 2: kind of curating for people. So if anyone really wants

702
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 2: to give back and wants to be part of that

703
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 2: kind of movement and really does want to help others,

704
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: they can with us. And that's what we do. And

705
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 2: so we have we have people who donate from all

706
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 2: over the world we have. We have it's you know, donating.

707
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 2: We had My daughter Katie Flynn has got this amazing

708
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 2: program that she's got of volunteers where their doctor's volunteering,

709
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 2: but they're bringing their kids and the kids are volunteering

710
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 2: and they're starting out their own programs and with volunteers

711
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 2: with beehives. One of them is called I mean, it's

712
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 2: just marvelous. And if you think about it as a

713
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: movement and that what we are doing is curating that movement.

714
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 2: That's what we're doing. And Trina's pretty much, you know,

715
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 2: the almost the only person that is paid to work

716
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 2: in our foundation. We have an incredible board of people

717
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 2: who work so hard, don't they, Trina? I mean yeah,

718
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 2: unpaid and literally I mean gives so much to their

719
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 2: time and expertise and we couldn't do it without them.

720
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: And then we have fans who've just been enormously supportive.

721
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 2: We always have a big event or if it's not COVID,

722
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: I think the next one is February eighteenth, ze, right,

723
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 2: but verse seventeenth, Yeah, seventeenth, who I know, it's right

724
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: close to my birthday. My birth is the fifteenth, and

725
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 2: that's always enormously good fun and people literally come from

726
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 2: all over the world for it. And then the rest

727
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: of the year we do all kinds of other fundraise.

728
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: In fact, we have one coming up on October fifteenth,

729
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: which is called chit Chat with Meeka. My mother's name

730
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: is Meeka. Normally it's called chit Chat with Kitty Cat

731
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 2: or Chitchat with Solitaire, or chit Chat with Mikayla Quinn

732
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 2: And it's usually a chance for people to donate and

733
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 2: join the Zoom and for a couple of hours we

734
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 2: all talk about and they ask me questions about something

735
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 2: I played. Well, in this case, we're actually talking about

736
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 2: my mother, who she was, and other people who knew her,

737
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 2: and stories they have to tell about her and how

738
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 2: that pertains to what we're doing with the Open Heart Foundation.

739
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 2: And then that money will yet again go into the

740
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 2: kitchen and be sent to all these amazing organizations.

741
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: So in order to join the Zoom, then you donate

742
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: to join the Zoom, or if you join the Zoom,

743
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: then you donate afterwards. Oh that's a really cool idea.

744
00:40:58,480 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that.

745
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, we came up with that during the pandemic when

746
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 5: we couldn't be in person and we needed to raise money,

747
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 5: and you know, Jane graciously is giving of her time

748
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 5: and obviously her life's experiences, but this particular one is

749
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 5: really important because it is Meeka's story and Jane's story

750
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 5: and the family story that really sort of drives us

751
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 5: forward and supports the work.

752
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,479
Speaker 2: That we do, the grants that we give.

753
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 5: You know, we've supported over sixty charities since we were founded,

754
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 5: and they're all over the United States. Some of them

755
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 5: are not so emerging anymore, and we're really excited about

756
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 5: that they've grown so much and they're so successful that

757
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 5: they don't need our help anymore. And some we've just

758
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 5: discovered through, as Jane said, are em vetting process that

759
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 5: we go through when we do our grant cycles. And

760
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 5: the volunteerism program is just like just beginning to take shape.

761
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 5: And we had a bunch of ideas that we were

762
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 5: going to do with the pandemic.

763
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 2: Of course, with the.

764
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 5: Lockdown, we had to turn to virtual opportunities, but still

765
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 5: we sent cards to seniors isolated and senior centers all

766
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 5: across the United States, and we've been able to plant

767
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 5: trees and grasses at Paramount Ranch to restore from the

768
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 5: woosey fires that we're here in Los Angeles, so there's

769
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 5: a lot to do. I think the whole point is

770
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 5: that everybody can do something to help someone else, and

771
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 5: by doing that, you find purpose, you keep your heart open,

772
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 5: that sort of ripple effect keeps going.

773
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: That's great, that's great, And Treta, let me ask yourselthing,

774
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: what is it that brought you to doing this kind

775
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: of work. I'm always fascinated when someone chooses a life

776
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 1: or a career path that has to do with service.

777
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 5: Sures. I think I've kind of always been a person

778
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 5: of service. It was a big part of what my

779
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 5: mother taught my sister and I when we were growing up,

780
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 5: you know, always helping other people. She still helps people today.

781
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 5: She's going to be eighty next year. But sony years ago,

782
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 5: I decided to make a career transition. I didn't want

783
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 5: to just kind of get a desk job. I wanted

784
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 5: to actually make a difference in the world and sort

785
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 5: of align my personal values with the work that I

786
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 5: do from nine to five. So I've been fortunate to

787
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 5: work with a lot of small and large charities across

788
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 5: the Greater Los Angeles area. You know, it's the work

789
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 5: that actually inspires me and helps to keep me motivated

790
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 5: and going. But I've been able to help children in

791
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 5: public school learn through the arts, help small featers in

792
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 5: Los Angeles learn how to grow their audiences. I've worked

793
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 5: for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles, and

794
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 5: this work that I've been fortunate to be a part

795
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 5: of for the past four years has just opened my

796
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 5: eyes to the folks that really need the help, the

797
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 5: boots on the ground, the communities that just don't have

798
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 5: food or shelter or clothing. So I've been I've really

799
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 5: enjoyed the work we've been doing here.

800
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 2: And how I mean, we deal with with battered women,

801
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 2: We deal with children, have incarcerated adults. We deal with

802
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 2: women who've done their time and are trying to get,

803
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 2: you know, back into the workforce. We a lot of

804
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 2: food insecurity, huge amount. What else are we dealing with, Oh,

805
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 2: foster girls, you know, coming out and having having babies

806
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 2: and not knowing you know, how to fill in the

807
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 2: forms or what they're entitled to, or how to eat

808
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 2: and take care of the child let alone themselves. I mean,

809
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 2: you know, things you don't think about. And then of

810
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 2: course you know the cares people who are looking up

811
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 2: to people with disabilities. And when when when Christopher Reeve

812
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 2: was around, we supported a wonderful organization's doing really when

813
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 2: I called life Roles on the Jesse Bellio who we

814
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 2: who takes people who just kids who've just been become

815
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 2: paralyzed and it ties them to surf boards and brings

816
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 2: them out with the famous self is out out on

817
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 2: the surf. I mean just saw that this weekend. So

818
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 2: there's a lot of things you don't think about that

819
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 2: make a huge, huge difference. And one of the things

820
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: that we're proud of is it will give you know,

821
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 2: our grand but then locally the people go with that's

822
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 2: in our neighborhood. Wow, that's really cool, and then'll double

823
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 2: or triple it. Yeah, so that's what's very cool. Yeah.

824
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 5: The verb in our mission is too empower. So we

825
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 5: do provide the grant, but we also offer the opportunity

826
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 5: for them to use our grant as a matching grant,

827
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 5: which they offer and leverage and so they'll raise double triple.

828
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 5: I think the record so far is raising thirteen times

829
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 5: the amount that we've granted them by leveraging our grant

830
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 5: and our organization.

831
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 1: Times that's incredible.

832
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 2: I know, I know.

833
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 5: It was a Creighton Community Foundation in Arizona. They serve

834
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 5: the Creighton Community School District and they had a food bank.

835
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 5: This was right like in June the pandemic, and we

836
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 5: gave them a fifteen thousand dollars grant. They wanted to

837
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 5: go from once a month to twice a month to

838
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 5: be giving food out to their area. And they took

839
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 5: that fifteen thousand dollars grant and they doubled it with

840
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 5: their community.

841
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 2: And then they took that money and they.

842
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 5: Wrote a for a state grant and cut double that

843
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 5: and then they went to their dollar that year and

844
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 5: they announced this whole thing and they raised.

845
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 2: I think they raised like over three hundred thousand dollars

846
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 2: in that year.

847
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

848
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 5: So, you know, if that's what we're about, that ripple effect,

849
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 5: and you know, it's not necessarily us, it's just people

850
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 5: inspiring people to do what they can to help others.

851
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 2: And what we love is, you know, if you go

852
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 2: to Openhat's Foundation dot org, you can literally see and

853
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 2: identify with any of those charities and look deeper, do

854
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 2: a deeper dive. It's all there and you go, well,

855
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,959
Speaker 2: actually that's really interesting and maybe I'd like to work

856
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 2: with them, I'd like to do something. So you know,

857
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 2: quite often after we've introduced people to the organization and

858
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 2: we've given the grand then people go directly to that organization,

859
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 2: get involved and donate in the future. So we're kind

860
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 2: of empowering and shining a light on and identifying and

861
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 2: curating a way of giving back. And I think that's

862
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 2: what we're doing to the general population is we're saying,

863
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 2: you know, with sort of like the good housekeeping, the

864
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 2: feel of well, the Open Hearts Foundation seal of approval,

865
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 2: like you know, we've done due diligence and this is

866
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 2: who they are. And you know, you may be more

867
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 2: into cats and dogs or you know, the timers or whatever,

868
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 2: but we're pretty sure you'll find something here that you

869
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 2: know will be meaningful to you.

870
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 1: That's amazing And in fact, you actually took the words

871
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: out of my mouth because I was going to say,

872
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: how can people reach out? How can people get involved?

873
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: And it's Open Heartsfoundation dot org. That's all they need

874
00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: to know, correct to go there, to look for opportunities

875
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: to donate, opportunities for volunteerism, uh, connections, whatever it is

876
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: doing a deeper dive into all of these many organizations

877
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: and foundations that you're supporting. That's that's the spot.

878
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 2: And also they can let us know if they know

879
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 2: of some organization we haven't come across yet that might

880
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 2: be worthy of the you know, the next cycle of donations.

881
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 2: You know, we're always looking to see what else there is,

882
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 2: who else you know, fits fits the parameters. Usually what

883
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 2: we're looking for is a connection between someone who's been

884
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 2: through a challenge like my mother had, who's taken the

885
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: opportunity after that to give back and to make a difference,

886
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 2: gone out of the way to do that. So you know,

887
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 2: that's really the thing that makes the difference in the end.

888
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 5: We're we're also on our socials as well, you know,

889
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:59,720
Speaker 5: of course Facebook and Instagram and X or Twitter compitting

890
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 5: away you call it.

891
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to just give us a shout out of
