Uh. So you were 24 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: on one episode of Gilmore Girls as Richard college ex 25 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: girlfriend Peneling a lot from Yale. Uh. It was an 26 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: integral part of that episode for sure, kind of shocking. 27 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,919 Speaker 1: What do you remember about getting that role? Well? Um, 28 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: Actually when I went to the audition, I was working 29 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: in the theater a lot, so I actually didn't. Um, 30 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: I didn't know the show that well. I knew of it, 31 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: of course, but I didn't know it that well. And 32 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: I got to the audition and that there were so 33 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: many women there I cannot begin to tell you. And 34 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: it was a big audition room and I'd say maybe 35 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: thirty and actresses who had had their own series acted. 36 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,119 Speaker 1: I was like, whoa this is? You know? And then 37 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: the casting director came out and talked to us all 38 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: about the way the Palladinos wanted to speak to be 39 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: like fast and don't over invest in it and don't 40 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: and for me, because I worked in the theater all 41 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: the time, and you have to do so many different 42 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: ways of speaking or you know, I kind of loved it. 43 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, but still it seemed not intimidating. 44 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: I would say, actually fun. So then I went in 45 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: there and and I did my fast speak. The next thing, 46 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: I knew I had the role. And um, and people 47 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: would say OpenL a lot or they talk about her 48 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: all s. So I guess pre that episode she had 49 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: been talked about between Kelly and Ed Hermit many times. Well, 50 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: it's an interesting dynamic. Um, sorry interrupt, but we have 51 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: we we have so many fan questions. There's we have 52 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: such an engaged fan base and they send in tremendous 53 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: amount of questions. We want to get to get half 54 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: of it. Uh. You know, it's an interesting dynamic to 55 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: see someone else coming between Richard and Emily's marriage. Do 56 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: you remember any reaction from fans at that time when 57 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: your episode aired? Well, I remember people actually at the 58 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: theater that I work at a lot. There's a casting director, 59 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: Joanne to know, and she teaches a class. So there 60 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: were all these young people, i'd say in their twenties, 61 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: and I was leaving a rehearsal at the theater and 62 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: they were like, you're pedling, you're peddling. But they didn't 63 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: have any judgment about it, you know, they didn't have 64 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: So I don't remember people feeling like, oh I can't. 65 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure people did, but I don't remember that at all. Right, 66 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: Right for the excitement of, you know, people beating her 67 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: or we we love the line when Lauraa calls you 68 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: who are almost mommy? Was it was it hard to 69 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: keep a straight face with with that one coming at you. No, 70 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: I was taking my job too seriously, right, You know, 71 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: when you spend one day on a show like that, 72 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not quite goofing around like some people 73 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: might be. So but it was adorable. And I cannot 74 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: tell you over all these years since then, how many 75 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,559 Speaker 1: people have quoted that to me? Oh, you're her almost mommy. 76 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: These fans, they know that they know the show, the 77 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: chapter in verse, the details. People say that to me. 78 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: I was like, I'd be like, do you watch this 79 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: show a lot? And they're like, oh yeah, yes, they Um, 80 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: how long has it been since you watched an episode? Oh? Well, 81 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: I would say quite some time. My husband asked me today, Um, 82 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: he said, are you gonna watch your episode? And I said, no, 83 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I pretty much remember it, and 84 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: it's on my reel, so I see it when I'm 85 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: redoing my reel. And I said, but I thought it 86 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: might be more fun to just see what I actually 87 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: remember all and every niece in my life, every goddaughter 88 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: in my life, every everything.

Um, what do you 91 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: remember about your time on set? What's the what is 92 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: the one big takeaway from memory from from your time? Well, 93 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: I can say that the night before was the opening 94 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: of Disney Hall, which I was at formally dressed. My 95 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: best friend Beth Heart was like all together helping organize it. 96 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: We had the clothes, we had the friends, Like, I mean, 97 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: there was no way I couldn't go. And I think 98 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: my call time wasn't outrageous. I think it was more 99 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: like eight am, but I was. I was out till 100 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: I was more worried about me being unsteady and whatever. 101 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: And then I was in the costume place and ed 102 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: Hermann came up and he was like, so you're my girlfriend, 103 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: And it was just such a welcoming. You know, he 104 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: sat there and talked to me for a while and everything, 105 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: and and then I would say, the rest of the time, 106 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: first of all, everyone was wonderful and the Palladinos were 107 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: right on the set the whole time, which I found 108 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: as a guest star kind of great. And um So, anyway, 109 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: I remember really respecting Lauren and Alexis, and you know, 110 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: not trying to be over buddy or whatever, but uh, 111 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: but Lauren and I started talking about the theater, and 112 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: so then she and I were often running with that, 113 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: and of course Kelly and Ed both worked in the 114 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: theater all the time, so I just had a really 115 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: I was so grateful for them being such generous, kind 116 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: spirits because I was a little born out. So so, 117 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: what was it like doing scenes with Ed and Kelly? 118 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: Just easy, breezy, I'd say, yeah, I mean, because they 119 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: are pros. They're pros, they're fabulous at what they do. 120 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: And any Gilmore girls I had seen, you know, you 121 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: identify immediately who they are, what they are to each other, 122 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: what they are to their granddaughters, you know, so our 123 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: daughter and granddaughter, I should say. Yeah. So I just 124 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: remember from that perspective being very comfortable, just because they 125 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: were so good at what they did. Did did Amy 126 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: and Dan tell you about what was going to happen, 127 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: any repercussions of penalance conversation when you got that role? No, No, 128 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: they did not. And I would say that most of 129 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: the actresses in that room that day, that everybody thought 130 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: she'd be on the show for a while, you know, 131 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: that she was going to be invade the space. Um 132 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: so no, And so I just took the information I had, 133 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: and I knew that she had been talked about and 134 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: she'd been a threat in some way to Yeah, I 135 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: just find Yeah, it was such a great shocking plot point. 136 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: And and then she would show up you mean and 137 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: that yeah, that she right. I mean, it was just 138 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: such a shocking character kind of I don't know, knock 139 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: on Richard. And then you know, we discussed it last 140 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: podcast and it's like, good lord, he really did that, 141 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: and and and and then this next episode you weren't 142 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: a part of it. There was no conversation about it, 143 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: and no ensuing conversation that I can imagine. I mean, 144 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: I haven't seen the episodes yet, but would you recall 145 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: if you were mentioned in any of the ensuing episodes. No, 146 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think you know only my god daughter Emma, 147 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: who said, Linda, you are an iconic character on this show, 148 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: you know, so I don't really know. I don't really know. Um. Yeah, 149 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: but it's odd to make such a good and clearly 150 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: he was not going to he wasn't going to cheat 151 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: on his wife. He well, he did, he did emotionally, 152 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: didn't he. I mean, if you sit there and have 153 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: dinner I mean to have lunch over a period of 154 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: years with somebody who you used to be intimate with 155 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 1: and don't tell your wife about it, that is that's 156 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: not good. That's not good. It's not good. That's an 157 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: emotional that's an emotional affair. I think they call that, right, yeah, 158 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: something you don't want to let go of. Man. And 159 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: maybe that's why in the end they decided to actually 160 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: not have anything happen, because I think even ed Herman 161 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: thought something would happen. You know that when he talked 162 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: to me that day. I think he had that in 163 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: his mind that something would actually happen. But they may 164 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: have decided that it was just too icky. You know 165 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: that the lunches were one thing, but you know, actual 166 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 1: cheating is another more than emotional cheating, as you called it. 167 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: I wanted to see that. I wanted to see you 168 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: and Emily Duke get out or something like that, or 169 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: you know what, I so much pauler than she. It 170 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: just would have made me like, really a badass. Many many, 171 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: many people remember you as Fontana and Evening Shade that 172 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: ran from Um. What fond memories do you have working 173 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: alongside Burt Reynolds and Mary lou Hanna Well, um, too 174 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: much to talk about really, but um, the reason I 175 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: had that job is because I was working in a 176 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: theater in Dallas and Bert and the Thomasin's came down 177 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: to look for um Southern kids, and they said, if 178 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: you have other interesting actors, ring them in. So I 179 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: got to go in there and read with Bert and 180 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: um too, it was a scene with his wife Mary 181 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: lose part and so I got to read that. And 182 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: when we were done, but the story goes, Bert was like, 183 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: she needs to be my wife, you know that. He 184 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: was excited or whatever, and the Thomasins were like, yeah, 185 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: I don't see that. All those wonderful name people and whatever. 186 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 1: But about a month later they had this role of 187 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: the Tom stripper, and Bert said to the Thomasin's let's 188 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: get that girl in Texas. I hope this is okay. 189 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: She doesn't have any kids, but she's got great legs. 190 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: We can give her kids. So they flew me out 191 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: and I met them and it was a blast, and 192 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: I got the role. And they would fly me back 193 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,599 Speaker 1: between because my husband and I were um running a 194 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: theater company in Dallas at the time, and so they 195 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: would fly me back and forth. And then horrifically, my 196 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: husband ended up being in a minor car accident where 197 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 1: a paramedic gave him an injection of a wrong drug 198 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: and it stopped his heart and killed him. Oh goodness, no, 199 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. And so here I am with 200 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: all of them like a new family. And my husband 201 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: had come out and met them, and he was running 202 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: the theater at the time, and I think he was 203 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: doing auditions out there. So anyway, they knew me as 204 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: this I was thirty five years old, you know, and uh, 205 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: and they took care of me and and I just 206 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: have so much to say about evening Jade, like too much. 207 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: But I had the time of my life, really, and 208 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what my life would 209 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: have been if I didn't have them to kind of 210 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: bump into started new life in California. You know, all 211 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 1: of that. They're very connected to my life. I'm so 212 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: sorry for the loss of yours. Yeah, no, it was. 213 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,599 Speaker 1: It was absolutely awful and terrible and and you know, 214 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: I mean, but they were amazing. They were amazing, And 215 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: so then I just become became part of that Evening 216 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: Shade family for four years and more fake press the 217 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: entire time. Um so um, what was Burt like to 218 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: work with? What was Burt and very little like to 219 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: work with? Bert? Bert was beyond fabulous with actors and 220 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: with people above him, you know, like directors and producers, 221 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: and he had done a lot of it at himself. 222 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: He was tougher two actors. He was a love. I 223 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: would say to all actors. Yeah for sure. Um so 224 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: you recently did uh justified? Yeah?

Oh yeah, 226 00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: that was another really really great experience. Um and I 227 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,599 Speaker 1: remember going to the first audition and just feeling like 228 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: I can do this. I know I could do this, 229 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: And then I got there. Once again, there were actresses 230 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: much more famous than myself, but I didn't really even care. 231 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: I had a gene jacket on. I was sitting on 232 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 1: the floor and it was to be his stepmother was 233 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: and in the first episode she had a very big part, 234 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: and um, anyway, I ended up getting that role and 235 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: loving it. I mean I had I used shotguns, I 236 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: drank whiskey, I spoke serettes. You know. It was just 237 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: that kind of a part that women don't normally get 238 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: to play. And then I think it was oh it was. 239 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: It was the end of the second season. So I 240 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: did a lot of the first and second seasons and 241 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: then um Graham Yost called me at home and I 242 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: was doing a play at the time. It's like, how's 243 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: the play doing? How you know?

And 249 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: and I actually burst into tears on the phone, like 250 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: a cartoon where the tears to shoot out of your face. 251 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: I loved them all so much, and the thought of 252 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: like not being with them was very very sad to me. 253 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: I think that happens on series though if it's a 254 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: happy series, you know that it's hard hard to leave. 255 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: So and they were a terrific bunch.

I mean, it's not like you could go 262 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: out and go shopping and there'll be whole days you 263 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: weren't were king. That part of it was tough. But 264 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: a friend of mine had written the episode, and um, anyway, 265 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: I in the end, I was very grateful to have 266 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: done it. But honest to God, that this young woman 267 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: had to drag my body through all the dead bodies. 268 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: I am a five ft ten woman and she was 269 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: like tiny.

Please. It's a very specific. So um, 272 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: but you know, worth it. I mean all these when 273 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: I think about everything you've asked me about I think 274 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: about how different they are, and it is completely different. 275 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: And uh, and that's the part of television that has 276 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: been a gift to me and you. You then moved 277 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: on and you did some some Perry Mason episodes where 278 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: you're serious regular.

And 282 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: cats can't be trained. They're not like dogs, but they 283 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: always act like they can. Their trainers club really doesn't 284 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: work like costs more right, Yeah? Um? And Physical tell 285 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: us about Physical? What is that? Physical is a terrific 286 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: show and very dear friend of mine, Annie Wise, been 287 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: created it and I've done three of her plays, so 288 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: she really wanted to get me in there. Uh So 289 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: I ended up being the mom of one of the 290 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: major characters. But it's set back, Um, I guess in 291 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: the eighties in the eighties, right, Physical, Yeah, and anyway, 292 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: it was it was terrific, but it was during COVID 293 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: and I had no idea, no idea what that was 294 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: like and how they had to put your costumes and 295 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: zipped up bags and You're always in a mask until 296 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: your lines on action, not something else's. It was always 297 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: that way, So I would say it was an experience 298 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: too from that standpoint to have done that during COVID. 299 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:12,239 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, UM, can you estimate how 300 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: many times people have approach you and recognized you from 301 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: Gilmore's Pendling Lot? Okay, starting from the time those students 302 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: did that, which was right after it was on the air, 303 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: I honestly never thought it would happen again. I don't 304 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: know if I could estimate maybe and now when people 305 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 1: do it, because I'm so much older and I got 306 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: to look so pretty on that show, which I don't 307 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: always you know, with these character parts I played. When 308 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: they recognize being, I'm like, well, thank you, but it's 309 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: a lot pendelent lot seemed to I don't know, seemed 310 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: to land for people. I think because of the build up. 311 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: It was so it was so shocking. Yeah, see listened 312 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 1: to you like you were shocked when you read the episode, right. 313 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: I don't remember reading the episode. I just remember watching 314 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: the episode, you know, a week or so ago, and 315 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: then going on air to opine about it and comment 316 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: on UM. But it was it was incredibly shocking to me. 317 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: And even what's even more shocking is that you Vanish 318 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: I know, and and it's not dealt with. So I 319 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: we're going to bring this up in the in the 320 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: in the breakdown.
