And we shot in the Dominican 23 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: Republic because the skyline of Miami has changed so significantly 24 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: since then, so you could never do a period piece there. Anymore. 25 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: But dr fit really beautiful for that kind of time 26 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: and place, and the costume designers and the hair and 27 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: makeup and the set designers did this incredible job just 28 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: transporting us back to the nineteen seventy eight. It just 29 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: made it so easy. It felt like we were really there. 30 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 3: Because it looks so cool the show. And also you 31 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 3: were working alongside your husband Nick. What on earth is 32 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 3: that like? I mean, I would always find it, I 33 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: would imagine be tricky to work with my husband. 34 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: Well, I mean we've actually done a couple of films 35 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: before together and I love working with him. He's such 36 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: an amazing actor. On this show, we didn't have any 37 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: scenes together, which was kind of great because we had 38 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: our toddler with us, so that would have been a 39 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: childcare nightmare if we were doing too many things together. 40 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: So it was just a bit of a glorious juggle. 41 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: And what was I suppose that juggle for so many 42 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 3: of us? You know, there you are being a nightclub 43 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 3: owner sort of in the day and night and then 44 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 3: going back to being a mum of your toddler. What 45 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: were some of the experiences of that flight. 46 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: Oh, it was, I mean, it was like living the dream. 47 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: It was, I guess everything you hope that you can 48 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: keep continuing to do after you have a baby, obviously 49 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: taking her on I don't know how many hours it 50 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: is to get to dr and we did it twice 51 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: because there was a strike that interrupted us. So we 52 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: came back to Australia for five months during the active 53 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: strike and then I don't know, it's at least two 54 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: days of playing, so you can imagine how that is 55 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: with one and then two year old. But it was 56 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: amazing and she just swam in the pool every day. 57 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: She learned how to swim at too, and yeah, I 58 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: would be in kind of the biggest hair and makeup 59 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: and bell bottoms and platforms and you know, doing all 60 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: sorts of funny naughty things in the nightclub and then 61 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: coming back learning about doggie paddle. It was great. 62 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 2: Five months in between. How does that go for continuity 63 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: with how you look? 64 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, well you just have to make sure your hairs 65 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: back to the way it was, and it's not I mean, 66 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: five months is not that long a time really in 67 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: the skin of things. 68 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I find like after five months, I'm visiting and ka, 69 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: I've got to I've got you be on the you 70 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: be on the ab Circle pro trying to lose a few. 71 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: I think I think it was summer, so probably maybe 72 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: if it was during winter that would have been problematic. 73 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 2: These are the these are the tricks that they use 74 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: these days.
