1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: Still the Place with Laura Layton, Courtney Thorn Smith.

2
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 2: And daphne's Aniga an iHeartRadio podcast.

3
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: Hello ladies, welcome to another Melrose minute. So one of

4
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: the things that comes up in this episode that comes

5
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: up in many future episodes is that Alison is dealing

6
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: with Amanda, who is a very mean boss. It's mean

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: at the workplace yet, but she's mean because she stole

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: Allison's pretend boyfriend.

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 3: I'm also a little confused on the structure at work

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 3: because she's not exactly her boss, right.

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lucy's her boss, right, Lucy's her boss, and and

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: like Amanda is the art director.

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 3: Helped me understand exactly what the structure is.

14
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: Amanda's the super attractive boyfriend's well, I know she's super attractive.

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: That's what her official title is, but that's what she

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: doesn't know.

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: I'm going to annoy the woman who's playing Alison for

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: the rest of her life.

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: I think she's kind of parallel above, like say she's

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: a number above on the on the call sheet, like

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: you can get an actor language, she's probably above on

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: the call sheet.

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: So she's like the director in her department, and she

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: works in a parallel department, like not in the same

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 3: exact department, but they have to work together. And it

26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 3: seems like Allison is on a rung below in a

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 3: different department, but they have to work together. So she's

28
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: not her direct boss, she's not her direct report exactly.

29
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: So what I just have to be clear. So, but

30
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: she does become her boss.

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: She's also a bossy and and sort of it. It

32
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: is definitely an added layer to being irritated by how

33
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: pretty she is. I'm sure.

34
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we're kind of talking about when you've dealt

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: with bad bosses, and I have to say, you know,

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: there was a time in this industry and you guys

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: both know this that people were allowed to behave horribly

38
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: And one of the good things that come out of

39
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: the Me Too movement and this is that is that

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: is less accepted. But don't you remember people used to

41
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: be allowed to behave horribly at work? And I'm sure

42
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: that's across the line. Like before there was hr I'm

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 1: sure everybody of a certain age had a time when

44
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: somebody was literally throwing staplers across the office. Do you

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: guys have did you work well?

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: You're talking about a boss, like a director or a

47
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: producer or are you talking about a.

48
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: Fellow or just like a coworker. Well, when when me

49
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: too started, there were stories of prefamous stories of producers

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: and they'd throw things at assistance and we all just

51
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: sort of shrugged like it was okay. Remember that, like

52
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: oh oh yeah, he's crazy, he's crazy, And now suddenly

53
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: it's not okay. People started to see they had rights.

54
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: But you remember, I remember people who had power on

55
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: sets being able to yell and scream and we all

56
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: just sort of hid and allowed it to happen.

57
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 2: Well, because we thought that's how it works. The slady

58
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: had to accept that the pyramid, the hierarchy is the

59
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: way it goes. And yeah, I mean when I put

60
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: myself back, it makes total sense. It's only now in

61
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: hindsight where people who probably put up with a lot

62
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: worse than us are like saying, no, this is bus

63
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 2: not doing it anymore, not okay that you go, oh yeah,

64
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: it shouldn't be.

65
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 3: And I think there were like a specifically, like some

66
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: commercial directors that just had a reputation for being absolutely

67
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: hardcore and would scream at crowds of people, but it

68
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 3: was still considered like, well, but if you want to work,

69
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: and if you want to get this great job and

70
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: work with this great director, you just put up with that.

71
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: And it's really like a mark of.

72
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: You know, Cachet to work with this guy, but what

73
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: you have to endure is his screaming and yelling and

74
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: the way he talks to his people and like that,

75
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: like you're saying that it was just considered, Like okay,

76
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: that's just what you have to put up with. And

77
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: I get to say that I've done this job or

78
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: this commercial or whatever with this notoriously, you.

79
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: Know, not to forget me somewhere.

80
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: I mean the other mark of cashe Yeah, like you

81
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: tried to complain, they'd say, there are a thousand people

82
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: who'd want your job. And the other mark of Cachet

83
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: was for the person throwing a tantrum. I worked with

84
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: someone who was a real bully once and he actually said,

85
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: I love that I get to do whatever I want

86
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: and people have to accept my apology because I'm so powerful.

87
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 3: Oh, actually said the words out loud.

88
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: He said the quiet part out loud.

89
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: Wow.

90
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: Actually said it that that was indicative of his power,

91
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: that he could do crazy things and people had to

92
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: put up with it because he had all the power.

93
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: So it was a huge awakening, like a rude awakening

94
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: for these people when things like HR started and you

95
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: got to say you don't get it or cell phone started, right, Yeah,

96
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: so when it first started, you remember this, like people

97
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: would actually film people doing it and it was so real,

98
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: or record them throwing a tantrum and people are like, oh,

99
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: that's not okay like it used to be. Well, we

100
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: have to put up with it because they're so creative.

101
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: So the people who were being put up with felt

102
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: powerful because they got to act out and be forgiven.

103
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: They didn't have to grow up.

104
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 3: And people who say that quiet part out loud probably

105
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: don't just say it once. They probably go around saying

106
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: it like they've repeated that phrase and they're wearing that

107
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 3: sort of as a confident Hey, I can do whatever

108
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 3: I want.

109
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I worked, probably doesn't talking about and I

110
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: complained about it, and instead of telling the bully he

111
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: had to stop bullying, they said, well, Courtney, we could

112
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: find someone to like be with you. It's like I

113
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: don't need a bodyguard, you like, have the bully stopped

114
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: being a bully. But so that's dawned back then?

115
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: Was this the eighties or the nineties, because I'm trying

116
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: to think of or the two thousands, Like, at what

117
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: point that you thought.

118
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: That, Well, I think it was as I grew up,

119
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: so you know, when I was younger, you just sort

120
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: of get quiet, and there's this thing of like, so

121
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: everybody's sort of talking about how awful they are, but

122
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: there was no sense of we shouldn't have to put

123
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: up with that. Yeah, Like I think it wasn't until

124
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: the Meto movement that kind of people went oh, no,

125
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: way to minute, no.

126
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 2: Right, Like you know what I'm saying is did you

127
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: say that but you spoke up, right.

128
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: You're saying he did finally speak up. Yeah, so this

129
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: was after.

130
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: Me too, or did you think no it was way

131
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: back okay, so you were like you thought, this is

132
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: not okay.

133
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: I mean that's but the response was, yeah, we can't

134
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: do anything about him, So we're just going to try

135
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: to protect you within the framework of this system, which

136
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: is that he gets do whatever he wants and we'll

137
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: try to take care of you in quiet ways without

138
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: upsetting him.

139
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: I know. But what I'm saying it didn't dawn on

140
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: a lot of us back then that it was wrong.

141
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: Like I would have. We're sort of like what's that term? Uh,

142
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: you know where you just kind of go this is

143
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: the way it is, Like I would.

144
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: Send time on me.

145
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: I would just go, oh, he's a creep or he's

146
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: a this, and I say he because most of them

147
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: were he's, he's, he's, he's he director, producer, director, producer.

148
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 2: There are so few women. But I would never, in fact,

149
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 2: I probably would go to my therapist and say, fix

150
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: me so I can deal with this. I would never

151
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: go and think that the whole system needs a change.

152
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: Ever, because we were so conditioned to accept this behavior.

153
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: It was like there were famous stories right about these

154
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: producers and oh yeah, oh yeah, he's crazy. But at

155
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: no point did people say until that movement did people say,

156
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: oh no, no, that's not okay. And I thought was

157
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: so interesting when Me Too came out, was that somebody

158
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: would complain about somebody and then all of these people

159
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: would come out, and each each woman had thought she

160
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: was the only one.

161
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: Right. People don't just say it once, they don't just

162
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: do it once.

163
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I was very touching. There were times when

164
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: I thought to even say it out loud and to

165
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: go through it. There's a certain form of trauma. I mean,

166
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: I don't think I was traumatized in the way that

167
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: a lot of women were that came out, But I

168
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: think there's a mental and emotional that you kind of

169
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: like an inventory that I went through, going oh that

170
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: wasn't okay, or maybe this wasn't you know, having worked

171
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: all through the eighties and the nineties and the two thousands.

172
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: But I think you're right, it's changed.

173
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, things have changed, and the accountability I think is

174
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: is just there's much more of a consciousness about it

175
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: in a conversation about it.

176
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: You know, the system had been was more rigid, it

177
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: was more there were fewer in roads, you know. Now

178
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,479
Speaker 2: it's like you see all these people. There's work everywhere

179
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: because of phones, and it's easy to create content and

180
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 2: so many outlets that I think, like people was very

181
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 2: small and rigid before to get into this industry and

182
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: so and the system was so kind of like it

183
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: felt it very locked and stiff, you know what I mean.

184
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: And now you're in a generation these kids are like

185
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: these are gig employments, you know, they're into like, I

186
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: don't want to work here anymore. I don't like my boss.

187
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 2: This is who they are. You know, there's that that

188
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: that is always.

189
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: So heartbreaking to me too, Like so much was heartbreaking

190
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: about the Harvey Weinstein stuff. He really did have the

191
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: power to ruin the careers of women who refused to

192
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: sleep with him, Like, how can that be? That was

193
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: the eighties, It's not like it was the twenties, Like

194
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: that was the eighties. That was so recent.

195
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: But he came out of why seventies and the sixties

196
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: and the fifties were in the forties, I mean, it

197
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: just kind of kept going.

198
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: Poor died that behavior.

199
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 2: Of course, That's what I agree.

200
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: He had invented rooms.

201
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: It was normal for him.

202
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: It went on doing anything wrong.

203
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 2: I know, That's what I'm saying. It's like when you

204
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 2: look back to where he grew up in it, he

205
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: and his I mean I read.

206
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: A little bit about it. He looked it was objectively

207
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: hideously wrong, but you think of how embedded in the

208
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: system that was. Yes, of course that's insane. So there's

209
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: no wonder we sort of thought, well, there's a price

210
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: to be paid in the re is this attitude in

211
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: our business, And I hope it's better for young actresses

212
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: coming up now. But it's that there are a hundred

213
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: people who would like to be here, like, just suck

214
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: it up. I always knew this was my code when

215
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: I knew something was wrong. If they say to me,

216
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: be a sport, be sport, like I have done stunts

217
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have done that, I would not do today.

218
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: Do people actually say those words, do you be a sport?

219
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: You've never heard that, daph Have you heard that then

220
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: in a work country? Well I have, I hear whenever.

221
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: Now I know. Now it's like if they say be

222
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: a sport, it means put yourself in danger for us,

223
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know, I'm not a sport. I'm

224
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: here to take care of myself because I have taken

225
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: risks for stunts that now. Look, the vast majority of

226
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: stunt coordinators and stunt guys are super careful and they

227
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: say are you comfortable? Does this work for you? But

228
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: I've done a couple of lower budget things where they

229
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: just kind of wanted to get it done and they

230
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: wanted to see my face and they were like, you

231
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: can do it right. You're a sport.

232
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: And they said be a sport.

233
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: You're a sport, and I was like, yeah, I'm a sport.

234
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: Like that very young part of me that wanted to

235
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: hang out with the guys. I'm a sport like now

236
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: the older part of me is much stronger in protecting

237
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: the younger part of me. But I would do it.

238
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: Like there was one time I was doing a stut

239
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: and I was running and jumping into a moving car.

240
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: And I look back on that and I go, wait

241
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: a minute, like, yeah, it could have I could have

242
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: gone like not just hurt me and I couldn't finish

243
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: the day's work, Like you can be so hurt doing

244
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: something like that that it could have ruined my life

245
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: could have gotten very little. But I could do it. Yeah,

246
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: Like the little tomboy and me wanted to prove I

247
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: could do it. And I'm just it's heartbreaking. All these

248
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: come on because I've had I have been pressured to

249
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: do things. For the most part, I stood up to it.

250
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: But I've been pressured to do plenty of things I

251
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: didn't want to do on sets where I had a director,

252
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: I might I may have shared this on another episode,

253
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: but when they said everybody out there thinks you being

254
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: a baby, Oh yeah, that's everybody thinks you're being a baby,

255
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: And it's just like it's so rule that kind and

256
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: then you say, by the way, were lying. I came out,

257
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: except I came out and the crew was like, good

258
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: for you. For like, the crew was one hundred percent

259
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: on my side. Crews are amazing. They were one hundred

260
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: percent on my side. But they tried to manipulate me.

261
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: It was just like I said to Allison, and Allison

262
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: said Romanda. In the upcoming episode, she says, everybody thinks

263
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: so except for Billy, Except for Bally, I hope that

264
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: it's it's better. I hope that there's more support for

265
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: young actors and actresses that they don't have to do

266
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: things that they're uncomfortable with. Yeah, we need more minutes.

267
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: We're out of minutes. We have so much to say.

268
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: That was just a Melrose minute.

269
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 3: That's all just a little light topic.

270
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: Welcome to the industry. Come on in, guys, all right, wellnutes.

271
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: That's why the best advice is, if you can do

272
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 2: anything else to make a living, go do it.

273
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: We can discuss that.

274
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm insanely grateful for my career. I've had, for the

275
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: most part, a great time, and I think it's changing.

276
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: I think I think the industry is becoming more accountable

277
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: and there are more protections now for young people, and

278
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: I think young people are better educated about their rights

279
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: and what they can expect. Yeah. I have so much

280
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: faith in these upcoming generations. I really do. I think

281
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: they're amazing.

282
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,040
