2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 2: You know what, it'd be pretty cool to be called

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 2: one of the most loved characters in television history. And

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: I think Cindy Brady is that the person playing Cindy

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: Brady all those years ago was Susan Olsen and she's

Speaker 3: Oh I love you know, whatever town they're in where

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 3: I have to say, as a kid, I thought that

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 3: maybe Australia would be the place for me because because

13
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 3: I love the animals here and everything's just a little

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,960

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: is wonderful. What your memories of that time. I imagine

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 2: when I was watching you as a kid that you

23
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: were living the dream. Were you living the dream?

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 1: Well, it was hard work.

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: I mean I wouldn't I wouldn't recommend it for and

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: I do teach acting for children. I wouldn't recommend it

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: for every child. You had to have a certain work ethic.

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: We definitely were working a forty hour week, which included

29
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 3: our school work. But I mean, to me, it was wonderful.

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: It's exactly what I wanted to do. And we're all

31
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 3: like family, so we got along very very well. We

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: had wonderful TV parents as well as our own parents.

33
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: Robert Reid and Florence Hunderson and Amby Davis were magnificent

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 3: to work with.

35
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: We really, we really were living.

36
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: The dream in terms of the best television cast you

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: could ever work with. And in fact, we would get

38
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: people that would guest star on our shows didn't want

39
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 3: to leave. They wanted to stay forever because it was

40
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: such a happy set.

41
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: It seems that you all relied on each other so much,

42
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: which is where all those romance stories came from. I

43
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: know that you and Bobby, or you and it was

44
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 2: you and Bobby had a bit of a pash in Tiger's.

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: Tiger's jog hands.

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.

47
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 3: That's why they kept it after Tiger was long gone.

48
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: It was just so we had a place to make out. Really,

49
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: I don't believe anything.

50
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: No, he left me for Eve by the second season

51
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: because she was getting boobies.

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, but as soon as someone gets booby settle

53
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 4: bit campestuous that everyone you seem to.

54
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: What could we do?

55
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: We were all we were sequestered, We were on we

56
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: were on the Paramount lot, and you know, we were

57
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: like the only kids we saw until well, And what

58
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: I think is amazing about us, it never happens these days.

59
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: When we went back to living our civilian lives. We

60
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: went to regular schools, We went to regular public schools

61
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: where everybody else went, and that never happens these days.

62
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: This series really only went for a couple of years,

63
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: didn't it. We have the impression that you, well, it was.

64
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: Five, but it kept coming back.

65
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

66
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: It was The Variety Hour, which I co wrote a

67
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: book about because it was voted the fourth worst television

68
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: series in TV history. And I can't believe that they

69
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: found three others that were worth.

70
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: What's the you would have had a lot of rumors

71
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: about yourself. Oh yeah, what is the strangest rumor?

72
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: Well, you know, rumors about my death are just extreme exaggerations.

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: There's long been a rumor that I got into porn.

74
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: Did you you know? I actually did, But but I

75
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: did one job.

76
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: I grew up. Okay, have you ever seen Boogie Nights?

77
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: Yes?

78
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: Okay, that's why I grew up. That was the San

79
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: Fernando Valley, right, Okay, I had many years ago, I

80
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: had a synthesizer because I was in a band as

81
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 3: a kind of sort of musician, and I had a

82
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: friend who edited porn films. He said, can you make

83
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: spaceship noises with your synthesizer? And I said, yes, I can.

84
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: He gave me fifty bucks. I provided the sound effects for.

85
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: Love Probe from a Warm Planet.

86
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 3: Wow, that's my porn title, my credit.

87
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was much to do about Sydney's lisp. And

88
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 4: you just said synthesizer, So clearly you never really had

89
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 4: a lisp.

90
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: But did you No? I did. I did.

91
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: I got teased all my life for it. When I

92
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: was nineteen, I was at the American Academy. I can

93
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: still hear it That's why I always keep one headphone askew,

94
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: because I hear it. To me, it sounds like cymbals

95
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 3: crashing every time I do an s sound. But every

96
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 3: single season, I thought I had gotten rid of my lisp,

97
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 3: and i'd hear the show. I'd watch the show and

98
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: I could hear my lisp and I'd cry.

99
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: I still lisp.

100
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 3: So you know, it wasn't until I was nineteen that

101
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 3: we finally just nailed it and.

102
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: Got rid of Kitty carry All. We never had the

103
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: Kitty carry Ole doll here, but I was just so

104
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: excited by the notion of it.

105
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: I do have one of the mass produced Kitty carry

106
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: All dolls.

107
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: She is the oddest doll.

108
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 3: She's wearing blue eyeshadow, she kind of she kind of

109
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: sort of has breasts.

110
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: She's just the weirdest doll.

111
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: I never understood any appeal to this doll. But I

112
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: wasn't into dolls. I was a tomboy.

113
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: Wait a bit, I kip that away from Balby. You

114
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: would have taken it into Tiger's doghouse. Well, Tiger was

115
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: into Kitty carry All. That's the master his lab.

116
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,680
