How you doing? Thanks for joining us. 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.400 Oh I love being here. Thank you. So let's get started. 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.600 We'll we'll, we'll just hit the ground running here since 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.720 we know you have limited time. Uh. So you were 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.479 on one episode of Gilmore Girls as Richard college ex 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.600 girlfriend Peneling a lot from Yale. Uh. It was an 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:54.360 integral part of that episode for sure, kind of shocking. 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.919 What do you remember about getting that role? Well? Um, 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.600 Actually when I went to the audition, I was working 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.960 in the theater a lot, so I actually didn't. Um, 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.000 I didn't know the show that well. I knew of it, 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.160 of course, but I didn't know it that well. And 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.000 I got to the audition and that there were so 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.880 many women there I cannot begin to tell you. And 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.440 it was a big audition room and I'd say maybe 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.639 thirty and actresses who had had their own series acted. 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.119 I was like, whoa this is? You know? And then 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.040 the casting director came out and talked to us all 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.240 about the way the Palladinos wanted to speak to be 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.880 like fast and don't over invest in it and don't 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.360 and for me, because I worked in the theater all 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.040 the time, and you have to do so many different 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.600 ways of speaking or you know, I kind of loved it. 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:45.000 I was like, okay, but still it seemed not intimidating. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.640 I would say, actually fun. So then I went in 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:52.520 there and and I did my fast speak. The next thing, 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.960 I knew I had the role. And um, and people 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.520 would say OpenL a lot or they talk about her 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.400 all s. So I guess pre that episode she had 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:06.680 been talked about between Kelly and Ed Hermit many times. Well, 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.960 it's an interesting dynamic. Um, sorry interrupt, but we have 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.240 we we have so many fan questions. There's we have 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.000 such an engaged fan base and they send in tremendous 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.960 amount of questions. We want to get to get half 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.679 of it. Uh. You know, it's an interesting dynamic to 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.959 see someone else coming between Richard and Emily's marriage. Do 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.239 you remember any reaction from fans at that time when 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:34.400 your episode aired? Well, I remember people actually at the 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.600 theater that I work at a lot. There's a casting director, 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.480 Joanne to know, and she teaches a class. So there 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.920 were all these young people, i'd say in their twenties, 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.120 and I was leaving a rehearsal at the theater and 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:50.360 they were like, you're pedling, you're peddling. But they didn't 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.680 have any judgment about it, you know, they didn't have 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.080 So I don't remember people feeling like, oh I can't. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.520 I'm sure people did, but I don't remember that at all. Right, 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.360 Right for the excitement of, you know, people beating her 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.360 or we we love the line when Lauraa calls you 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.640 who are almost mommy? Was it was it hard to 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:15.240 keep a straight face with with that one coming at you. No, 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.760 I was taking my job too seriously, right, You know, 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.720 when you spend one day on a show like that, 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.120 I mean, you're not quite goofing around like some people 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.360 might be. So but it was adorable. And I cannot 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.440 tell you over all these years since then, how many 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.559 people have quoted that to me? Oh, you're her almost mommy. 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.560 These fans, they know that they know the show, the 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.880 chapter in verse, the details. People say that to me. 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:44.960 I was like, I'd be like, do you watch this 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:50.000 show a lot? And they're like, oh yeah, yes, they Um, 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:55.120 how long has it been since you watched an episode? Oh? Well, 0:04:56.360 --> 0:05:00.240 I would say quite some time. My husband asked me today, Um, 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.880 he said, are you gonna watch your episode? And I said, no, 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.880 I mean, I think I pretty much remember it, and 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.599 it's on my reel, so I see it when I'm 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.680 redoing my reel. And I said, but I thought it 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.120 might be more fun to just see what I actually 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:19.000 remember all and every niece in my life, every goddaughter 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.640 in my life, every everything. They are such fans. Two 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.320 of them went to the Gilmore Girls fan club in Connecticut. 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:32.760 Major fans, right right, that's fantastic. Um, what do you 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.640 remember about your time on set? What's the what is 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.760 the one big takeaway from memory from from your time? Well, 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.320 I can say that the night before was the opening 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:49.360 of Disney Hall, which I was at formally dressed. My 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:54.160 best friend Beth Heart was like all together helping organize it. 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.760 We had the clothes, we had the friends, Like, I mean, 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:58.760 there was no way I couldn't go. And I think 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.240 my call time wasn't outrageous. I think it was more 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.600 like eight am, but I was. I was out till 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.320 I was more worried about me being unsteady and whatever. 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:12.560 And then I was in the costume place and ed 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.000 Hermann came up and he was like, so you're my girlfriend, 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.600 And it was just such a welcoming. You know, he 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.560 sat there and talked to me for a while and everything, 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.880 and and then I would say, the rest of the time, 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.480 first of all, everyone was wonderful and the Palladinos were 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.359 right on the set the whole time, which I found 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:35.960 as a guest star kind of great. And um So, anyway, 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:41.520 I remember really respecting Lauren and Alexis, and you know, 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.880 not trying to be over buddy or whatever, but uh, 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.800 but Lauren and I started talking about the theater, and 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.560 so then she and I were often running with that, 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.440 and of course Kelly and Ed both worked in the 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.039 theater all the time, so I just had a really 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.360 I was so grateful for them being such generous, kind 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:04.560 spirits because I was a little born out. So so, 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:06.719 what was it like doing scenes with Ed and Kelly? 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:13.080 Just easy, breezy, I'd say, yeah, I mean, because they 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.000 are pros. They're pros, they're fabulous at what they do. 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.520 And any Gilmore girls I had seen, you know, you 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:24.080 identify immediately who they are, what they are to each other, 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.720 what they are to their granddaughters, you know, so our 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.720 daughter and granddaughter, I should say. Yeah. So I just 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:34.120 remember from that perspective being very comfortable, just because they 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.720 were so good at what they did. Did did Amy 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.560 and Dan tell you about what was going to happen, 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:47.000 any repercussions of penalance conversation when you got that role? No, No, 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.280 they did not. And I would say that most of 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.440 the actresses in that room that day, that everybody thought 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.000 she'd be on the show for a while, you know, 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.440 that she was going to be invade the space. Um 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.840 so no, And so I just took the information I had, 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.800 and I knew that she had been talked about and 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.120 she'd been a threat in some way to Yeah, I 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:16.320 just find Yeah, it was such a great shocking plot point. 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.920 And and then she would show up you mean and 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.360 that yeah, that she right. I mean, it was just 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:26.400 such a shocking character kind of I don't know, knock 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.000 on Richard. And then you know, we discussed it last 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.840 podcast and it's like, good lord, he really did that, 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:36.360 and and and and then this next episode you weren't 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.640 a part of it. There was no conversation about it, 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:43.120 and no ensuing conversation that I can imagine. I mean, 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:47.160 I haven't seen the episodes yet, but would you recall 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:51.679 if you were mentioned in any of the ensuing episodes. No, 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.840 I'm trying to think you know only my god daughter Emma, 0:08:55.920 --> 0:09:00.840 who said, Linda, you are an iconic character on this show, 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:06.480 you know, so I don't really know. I don't really know. Um. Yeah, 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.560 but it's odd to make such a good and clearly 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.040 he was not going to he wasn't going to cheat 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.079 on his wife. He well, he did, he did emotionally, 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:19.040 didn't he. I mean, if you sit there and have 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.880 dinner I mean to have lunch over a period of 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.959 years with somebody who you used to be intimate with 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.719 and don't tell your wife about it, that is that's 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:31.720 not good. That's not good. It's not good. That's an 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:36.000 emotional that's an emotional affair. I think they call that, right, yeah, 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:41.800 something you don't want to let go of. Man. And 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.679 maybe that's why in the end they decided to actually 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.760 not have anything happen, because I think even ed Herman 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.520 thought something would happen. You know that when he talked 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.199 to me that day. I think he had that in 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.520 his mind that something would actually happen. But they may 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.679 have decided that it was just too icky. You know 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.079 that the lunches were one thing, but you know, actual 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:07.719 cheating is another more than emotional cheating, as you called it. 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.679 I wanted to see that. I wanted to see you 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:14.240 and Emily Duke get out or something like that, or 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.079 you know what, I so much pauler than she. It 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:29.080 just would have made me like, really a badass. Many many, 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.360 many people remember you as Fontana and Evening Shade that 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:38.439 ran from Um. What fond memories do you have working 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:44.400 alongside Burt Reynolds and Mary lou Hanna Well, um, too 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.280 much to talk about really, but um, the reason I 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.800 had that job is because I was working in a 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:53.360 theater in Dallas and Bert and the Thomasin's came down 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.679 to look for um Southern kids, and they said, if 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:01.360 you have other interesting actors, ring them in. So I 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.880 got to go in there and read with Bert and 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.200 um too, it was a scene with his wife Mary 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.439 lose part and so I got to read that. And 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.760 when we were done, but the story goes, Bert was like, 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.199 she needs to be my wife, you know that. He 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.920 was excited or whatever, and the Thomasins were like, yeah, 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:25.120 I don't see that. All those wonderful name people and whatever. 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.719 But about a month later they had this role of 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:33.360 the Tom stripper, and Bert said to the Thomasin's let's 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.840 get that girl in Texas. I hope this is okay. 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.559 She doesn't have any kids, but she's got great legs. 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.439 We can give her kids. So they flew me out 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:48.000 and I met them and it was a blast, and 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.840 I got the role. And they would fly me back 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.599 between because my husband and I were um running a 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.400 theater company in Dallas at the time, and so they 0:11:56.400 --> 0:12:00.520 would fly me back and forth. And then horrifically, my 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.320 husband ended up being in a minor car accident where 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.959 a paramedic gave him an injection of a wrong drug 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.120 and it stopped his heart and killed him. Oh goodness, no, 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.920 I'm not kidding you. And so here I am with 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.000 all of them like a new family. And my husband 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.040 had come out and met them, and he was running 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.559 the theater at the time, and I think he was 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:25.199 doing auditions out there. So anyway, they knew me as 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.880 this I was thirty five years old, you know, and uh, 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.360 and they took care of me and and I just 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:36.240 have so much to say about evening Jade, like too much. 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.319 But I had the time of my life, really, and 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.720 I don't know, I don't know what my life would 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.959 have been if I didn't have them to kind of 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:47.480 bump into started new life in California. You know, all 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:51.439 of that. They're very connected to my life. I'm so 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:55.040 sorry for the loss of yours. Yeah, no, it was. 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.599 It was absolutely awful and terrible and and you know, 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:04.400 I mean, but they were amazing. They were amazing, And 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.839 so then I just become became part of that Evening 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.400 Shade family for four years and more fake press the 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:17.439 entire time. Um so um, what was Burt like to 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.240 work with? What was Burt and very little like to 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:26.040 work with? Bert? Bert was beyond fabulous with actors and 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:30.960 with people above him, you know, like directors and producers, 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:32.720 and he had done a lot of it at himself. 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:37.280 He was tougher two actors. He was a love. I 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:43.959 would say to all actors. Yeah for sure. Um so 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:51.640 you recently did uh justified? Yeah? I justified did Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.520 Tell us about that was the first three seasons? Oh yeah, 0:13:55.600 --> 0:14:00.199 that was another really really great experience. Um and I 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.599 remember going to the first audition and just feeling like 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.240 I can do this. I know I could do this, 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.079 And then I got there. Once again, there were actresses 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.679 much more famous than myself, but I didn't really even care. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.400 I had a gene jacket on. I was sitting on 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.719 the floor and it was to be his stepmother was 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:19.200 and in the first episode she had a very big part, 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:25.160 and um, anyway, I ended up getting that role and 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:29.280 loving it. I mean I had I used shotguns, I 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.080 drank whiskey, I spoke serettes. You know. It was just 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.000 that kind of a part that women don't normally get 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.160 to play. And then I think it was oh it was. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.000 It was the end of the second season. So I 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.720 did a lot of the first and second seasons and 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.960 then um Graham Yost called me at home and I 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.720 was doing a play at the time. It's like, how's 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.520 the play doing? How you know? And I was like, oh, good, good, 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.000 And then he said, down, Linda, Um, I have to 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:58.360 tell you we need a death on the show, and 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:02.920 we needed death that matters. So it's gonna have to 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.840 be you because I was his step mom and I 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.240 was his person who really took care of him. And 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.640 and I actually burst into tears on the phone, like 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:16.400 a cartoon where the tears to shoot out of your face. 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.520 I loved them all so much, and the thought of 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.200 like not being with them was very very sad to me. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.600 I think that happens on series though if it's a 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:28.000 happy series, you know that it's hard hard to leave. 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:32.040 So and they were a terrific bunch. Absolutely. Tell us 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.800 about Fear of the Walking Dead. What was your role 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:40.240 on that one? Oh uh, well, Fear the Walking Dead 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:47.640 shot in rose Rato, Rose Rato, Mexico's Dead Beach Boy 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.480 and so yeah, and so I was there for about 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:54.640 three weeks and and then and that part of it 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:56.560 was tough. I mean, it's not like you could go 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.360 out and go shopping and there'll be whole days you 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:04.720 weren't were king. That part of it was tough. But 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.240 a friend of mine had written the episode, and um, anyway, 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.800 I in the end, I was very grateful to have 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.960 done it. But honest to God, that this young woman 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.840 had to drag my body through all the dead bodies. 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.040 I am a five ft ten woman and she was 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.880 like tiny. And you know, there were things about it 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:24.880 and they were like, oh my god, please don't make 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:31.000 this girl carry me. Please. It's a very specific. So um, 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.160 but you know, worth it. I mean all these when 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.400 I think about everything you've asked me about I think 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.520 about how different they are, and it is completely different. 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.440 And uh, and that's the part of television that has 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.960 been a gift to me and you. You then moved 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.760 on and you did some some Perry Mason episodes where 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.560 you're serious regular. You just did the one episode and 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.640 just one of his Yeah. And I had to work 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:59.680 with cat for the second time in not too many years. 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.640 And in CIS, I had to work with cats. And 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.040 cats can't be trained. They're not like dogs, but they 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:11.200 always act like they can. Their trainers club really doesn't 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:16.639 work like costs more right, Yeah? Um? And Physical tell 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.639 us about Physical? What is that? Physical is a terrific 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.600 show and very dear friend of mine, Annie Wise, been 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.560 created it and I've done three of her plays, so 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.200 she really wanted to get me in there. Uh So 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.240 I ended up being the mom of one of the 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:36.320 major characters. But it's set back, Um, I guess in 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:41.920 the eighties in the eighties, right, Physical, Yeah, and anyway, 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.000 it was it was terrific, but it was during COVID 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.399 and I had no idea, no idea what that was 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.320 like and how they had to put your costumes and 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.600 zipped up bags and You're always in a mask until 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:59.200 your lines on action, not something else's. It was always 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.440 that way, So I would say it was an experience 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:06.080 too from that standpoint to have done that during COVID. 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:12.239 Let me ask you this, UM, can you estimate how 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:18.280 many times people have approach you and recognized you from 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:24.240 Gilmore's Pendling Lot? Okay, starting from the time those students 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.480 did that, which was right after it was on the air, 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:32.400 I honestly never thought it would happen again. I don't 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:37.119 know if I could estimate maybe and now when people 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:39.959 do it, because I'm so much older and I got 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.520 to look so pretty on that show, which I don't 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.600 always you know, with these character parts I played. When 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:51.920 they recognize being, I'm like, well, thank you, but it's 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:55.399 a lot pendelent lot seemed to I don't know, seemed 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:57.800 to land for people. I think because of the build up. 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:02.240 It was so it was so shocking. Yeah, see listened 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.439 to you like you were shocked when you read the episode, right. 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:10.760 I don't remember reading the episode. I just remember watching 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.200 the episode, you know, a week or so ago, and 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:17.320 then going on air to opine about it and comment 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.480 on UM. But it was it was incredibly shocking to me. 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:26.119 And even what's even more shocking is that you Vanish 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.680 I know, and and it's not dealt with. So I 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.359 we're going to bring this up in the in the 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.200 in the breakdown. I do think at Herman thought we 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.880 were gonna this was not going to be our only 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:42.280 shot for sure. Maky and I talked, and then all 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.080 those actresses, Like I said, I mean, I think everybody 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.280 was there. You know how they always do the possible recurring, 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.440 you know, I think everybody was pretty sure that she'd 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.359 come back, and I think I was pretty sad she didn't. 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:59.760 But you know, that's just TV such a great dynamic. 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:01.800 But between you two, you and I mean, it was 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:03.840 and and and you and everybody, it was really it 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.480 was really entertaining. It was just yeah, it was really 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:11.280 really plastically funny. Um so what is next for you? 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:16.800 What do you have cooking? Well? Um, right this second, uh, 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.639 I just did a play down south here in California. 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:22.720 But I write this second, I'm not doing another play. 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.280 My husband just had a knee replacement. Well he actually 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.240 just had to So right now I'm not accepting any 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:32.359 place or anything. I'm open for television. So I really 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.680 don't know. Um, but mostly that's how my life goes. 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.720 It's like I do a play. I'm open for television, 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:41.560 you know, so, I don't have anything lined top right 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:49.240 this right other than you.
