Speaker 5 (01:51):
Hey, So we want to say hi to chatting. I'm
starting to fill up Stafon Bell Hello, Hello, Jabreno's Junior
Country Superstars. And that room be Claudia from Germany. Hello, Hello, Cindy,
Lady Lake is in the chat room. Thanks you guys
for tuning up. We're gonna have a fun show today.
We have two great guests. One of them is a actress,
model and TV host. I think you pronounced nya flack,

(02:15):
but we're gonna find out when she comes on in
a few minutes.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
And then we have.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
Actress, producer and director sus Leniir Bramlett coming on.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Should be fun.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
Neither one of them have ever been on the show,
and they don't know anything about us, so I think
it'll be a lot of fun. And and we want
to make sure we say hello to our fabulously gorgeous, cool,
outrageous men about town. Co host mister Ron Russell, who's
looking good in yellow but full of shit. And Ron's
been paying attention to my knee because he's having the
same thing done soon. So so he's going to go

(02:44):
through the same thing that I'm going through.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Aprol seventh. They're gonna do just you know, like Jimmy
was upset about the scar on his leg as it
just wear black fishnet stockings. The scar will never show,
and he threw a couple of a paper cup.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
Anyway, it's my third time, so the third time hopefully
is going to be a charm. And they say it's uh,
the more times you do it, the more difficult it
is for them to do it.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
But this is the easiest, and it's the swelling went
down and he's walking on it. So I suspect that
we have successfully done it. I know.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
So I still use a walker, but I can put
my weight on it that way, and I.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Think he's going to walk well, and I'm sure he'll
be in five inch high heels again, Simmer. We love
our yellow. They love our yellow. What do you mean, never,
sissy fairy? They like our yellow because I've got yellow
one too.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
Okay, you guys, runs car is yellow. That's why he
loves it.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
I love yellow. Yellow is life because yellow is the sun.
My father was not a religious man by any means,
but my father used to say to me God is
the sun because without the sun we couldn't live. He's
a little nuts, But anyway, I adore the sun. I

(03:58):
love living in sunshine. And I could never go back
to gloomy days. Uh you know those winter days where
everything is bleak and gray, so depressing. So you know,
so not me.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Anyway, you gotta like love it. So what's going on else?
What happens?

Speaker 3 (04:18):
So you guys.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
I was only in the hospital one night, Thursday night.
I came home late on Friday. It was miserable when
I got home. But it's got better every day. It's
gotten a little teeny bit better today, a little under
the weather.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
And uh so we didn't.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
I slept all weekend.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
We're going to Florida soon. And I'll tell you, booking
a chicket has gotten so bad from just a little
while ago, where it was normal to how to how
to book a ticket? Now they asked you so many
questions it's ridiculous. And of course they charge you for
everything now to kick your seat, well that's been quite

(04:55):
a while. I mean, why playes airlines. Pick a seat.
The goddamn seats are there, but we have to pick them.
For years ago, we used to reserve our seat. Now
we have to pay to pick our seat. What nerve?
What goal? Everything? You don't get food? You know, when

(05:15):
I used to fly back in the sixty nineteen sixty,
we all dressed up. The stewardesses were beautiful. They were
dressed up, and they'd serve you a tray with a
hot meal. You had a choice of chicken or steak
with silverware, with silverware, lat and glass glasses and coffee cups,

(05:36):
and the service was beautiful. The seats were big and
juicy and comfortable, and you had leg room. What has
happened to us as a people? We have really become
trash because we look like trash with all the clothes
that we wear, with ripped jeans, all torn. You know

(05:58):
what has happened? Poor people or people who cannot afford
to buy clothes will say, we're very upset and envious
of those that dressed well. So the designers decided to
make everybody look poor. This way, there's no envy or

(06:19):
feeling of wow, I don't have it. We are pleasing
the poor and we are not pleasing everyone, and that's
just not fair. We should be pleasing all people in
this country. Fashion has gone out the window.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
And you pay a lot of money for that.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Tell me about it. If the rip.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
Jeans are like four in the regular normal ones or
like fifty.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Went we went to a red carpet. I won't say who,
but one of the actors had on jeans that were
shredded and torn right way as crotch was. I think
his thing was going to fall out, I mean, dirty
looking ripped bottoms. And I said, where the hell did
you get those jeans off of a homeless person? He
said wrong, they were three hundred and fifty dollars. I

(07:09):
said for what. He said, well, for the art art?
I said, yeah, all those rips and holes, and that's
called art. So I thought to myself, I'm a wonderful
artist because I could do that in a second. So
it's just nonsense.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
Hopefully, now, with what's her name, the President's wife, Milania,
Milania now Mlania dressing so beautifully, let's hope she influences
fashion the way Jackie Kennedy did and we can go
back to dressing nice.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
I think it's okay to have ripped jeans for fun,
but not to go to a major event. Don't go
to the Academy Awards with a tuxedo jacket and ripped jeans.
It's just saying something that's stupid.

Speaker 5 (08:01):
So we want to, uh give a shout out to
and say hi to the chat room. Stephen Martinez just
jomped in there and said, you know, he had a minute.
He wanted to jump on and say Hi, I'm happy
that I'm doing well. Stephen Martinez, you guys, was one
of the celebrities I dressed back in the day, and
he's a big star on General Hospital and Burn Notice

(08:22):
and Vampire Diaries. So we want to just give him
a shout out. He's also the pickleball champion in the world.
Really yeah, you know, so he's really cool. I send
a thing saying I love to.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
Get I don't understand pickleback ball is his ping pong.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
Let's take on a tennis court, though, Yeah, how.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Many tennis ping pong on a tennis court? That might
be good for us, old Biggs, because I can't play
tennis no way. I mean, I would be out of
breath with seven steps to the left. But pickleball, you
could stay there and just bang it like, oh.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
No, absolutely, he's a really cool guy.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
And I didn't know that there was a contest.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
He says, far from that, but plays professionally tennis on
crack But y'all would love it so so Steve, and
I don't even know if you know, because I played
for University of Florida. I was like a big tennis player.
So I think I'll learn how to play. And I'm
hoping that my knee surgery that I just had done
will help me able to do that. But congratulations on
being a professional pickball player as well as a very
accomplished actor. And I'm glad everything's going. I'm on a singer,

(09:26):
you guys. He's a great country singer too, So anyway, thanks.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
I could do a joke, but I'm wondering if I should.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
If it's too dirty.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Now, well it's not clean, okay, Jimmy, you can play
with Mike Pickle and boiler up. Oh there you go.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
That one's okay, you guys. Even Nicholas Casadine on General
Hospital and he did a cheesy movie.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
He did a cheesy movie called Ring of Darkness, but I.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
Absolutely loved it about a boy band being possessed. It
was really cool and fun.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
And I'll reach out Steven and social media.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
Thanks for coming on saying hello and hope everything is
going good. Oh and and one you guys are our
engineer wrote a thing that there's a designer brand that
sells pre peace stained jeens called Jordan Luca and they
go for six hundred dollars.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
I'm going to vomit.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Stained jeans.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
That's disgusting. Where they go nursing home to get the jeans?
Huh they went to a nursing home to get I
don't know where they went.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
No, we don't piece the world and we don't prestain
our genes.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
I can't believe six hundred dollars for pre stained gens.
You know, prod Blessed America and all the morons in it.
I think that's hilarious. Though it is funny, it's not funny.
It's sad to think that somebody can choose you well,
you know, I hate to bring up the subject, but
somebody said they pay three hundred dollars for a jar

(10:59):
of thoughts. So if you fought in the jar, you
can sell it. Because there are sickos out there that masturbate,
and while they masturbate, they opened the jar and smell
the part because that turns them on. So there's all
kinds of crazy people in this country, in the world.
We know that you just have to sort of like

(11:21):
not talk about to make believe they're not here. And
so I just, you know, forget it, move on, because
we have become a disgusting people. Years ago television they
wouldn't even show a toilet bowl. Today they show you
people on the toilet bowl. Then they show you the
little bears wiping themselves and actually a big thing stay

(11:45):
like what is the word of moving from shit and
it's a street street. Then you have women spraying their
privates because there's their boxes smell. Then you have men
spraying their testicles because their testy don't smells on earth.

(12:06):
Why on earth would a man sprays testicles. I don't
know when there's soaping water. But anyway, there are other
period commercials where to shove a tampon. I mean, there
is so much shit on television. These commercials revolt especially
which you mean I eat while we watch you know, Jesse, Well.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yes, we we we watched TV or we eat dinner
and the commercials just amaze us there.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
I mean, Khamet when you're eating something and they're showing
you how to wipe your butt. But anyway, this is
what the world has become. There's no longer elegance, propriety, sophistication,
or shame or privacy. Even privacy is gone. We have
become a people that just don't care anymore. We don't

(12:56):
make things pretty, and having diarrhea in a commercial, to me,
is not pretty. There you go. They could just tell
I've said it all. There you go.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
All right, you guys, So we want to thank everybody
for tuning in. Every week you can hear the Jimmy Star.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
I think the other one is the new viagra. It
gots you up faster than anything. I mean, we need

you take a pill. Is that necessary? I guess for
the people who want to use it quick that you guys.

him for a photograph for a friend of mine and
he signed it, uh to Ron, thinking it was mine
all your good taste in women or something like that.

hate when women, as most people think that we're bitch

It's you know, it's kind of I think it's still
the second largest banking.

Speaker 7 (25:45):
City in the country or something like that.

Speaker 9 (25:47):
It's when I was growing up here, you know, if
you lived here, you're basically from here, and everybody had
a Southern accent and all that, and now it's hard
to find a Southern accent. People have moved in from everywhere.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
A lot of walkers moved there. Are you affected by
the hurricane?

Speaker 7 (26:03):
No, No, it wasn't bad here, just a lot of rain.

Speaker 9 (26:06):
That's more up in the area where builtmore is so
that they were really hit hard.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
So now is all the queens man? Is that the
only Tyler Perry?

Speaker 4 (26:14):
The only is that? The only?

Speaker 5 (26:15):
Is that the only Tyler Perrys? Because he's got so
many of them? Have you been in there?

Speaker 3 (26:19):
That's one of the That's that's full time.

Speaker 7 (26:21):
That's yeah, you know, hey, I'm open free.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
We have another friend, Robert Craighead, who's in a bunch
of He always plays like a sheriff like and he's
been in a bunch of the different Tyler Perry shows
that we know from here.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
And I know I always say to people, I wish
my work time was as much as my no work time.
You know, I'm always between movies for like thirty years,
you know what, you know what it's like waiting for movies.
I have six coming up, I have all the scripts.

(26:56):
I'm definitely in them, but they can't get financed. So
I'm not too I'm not worried.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
Actually, she just did a film I saw in her.
I am d B and I bring I always bring
up things that have some kind of a six degree
of separation with us. Caul on Fire with Sean McNamara
as the director, William H. Macy and John Corbett are
in it. You know John Corbett, He's from my big
factory wedding. William Macy and we just recently when Reagan,

(27:24):
the Reagan movie came out, we had Sean McNamara on
our show.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
He's a great guy.

Speaker 5 (27:29):
I'm not great, and he's got I've seen like almost
all of his movies. I didn't know they were his
movies until we had him on, But then once we
had him on, I paid attention to it.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
He's done some phenomenal movies. We got to get away.
For movies, you have to get into it a very
snoopy audience. My audiences to know everything. That's my dog
he somebody at the dome. Is your husband handsome? Of
course he is? What is he tall and sex?

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yes, he's all that. He's six three, he's uh eight.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
So what entrapment did you use to.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Get Why would you think I'd have to do that?

Speaker 4 (28:22):
Because all women trapped men. Men do not want to
get married, no matter how gorgeous you are. They just
want you for sex.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Not married.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
How did you ring on?

Speaker 9 (28:37):
No, no, no, See that's l A talking right there. Okay,
And you're right about that in l A. Here in
the southeast, not it's a little different. People actually seem
to like getting married.

Speaker 5 (28:50):
Yeah, that's so nice to hear because we so. I'm
from Florida, he's from New York.

Speaker 11 (28:55):
We met.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
Going to Florida in March, you know, just to go
back to living.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
I have very good friends in North Carolina and they
bought a house on a corner, brand new, beautiful house.
And when they told me what they paid for, almost
dropped dead. I said, in LA this house is two
point five In North Carolina, it was like eight hundred thousand,
seven point fifty something like that.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
I was going to say, live in a very.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
Exclusive part of North Carolina. Yeah. So it's it's good
living there.

Speaker 7 (29:36):
It is, it is, and it's really pretty.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
I'm pay to renew your life, your drivers, your car registration,
car registration.

Speaker 7 (29:44):
I think I've like one hundred and forty nine bucks
something like that.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
Forty nine bucks, you know, what's you know, you know,
we live.

Speaker 5 (29:54):
In Palm Springs. My car registration was eight hundred and
his is three hundred, and his car is twenty years old.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
They had born in a lot.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Now we're going to move to Florida because it's just
ridiculous here.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
It's gotten beautiful, I mean, the place of the places
in the world, in the world.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
We lived in Florida for about fifteen years.

Speaker 5 (30:18):
I lived there for forty eight. Yeah, he was born,
I was born. So I was born in Miami, and
I grew up in West Palm Beach and I went
to high school in Jacksonville College in Gainesville, and then
I moved back and I lived in Boca and Fort Lauderdale.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
And then he did twelve years in the state penitentiary.
Not true, Not true. So we also, I'm not drilling, huh.
So the second the husband, what do you what did
he do on Valentine's Day?

Speaker 9 (30:53):
It was kind of a busy Valentine's Day, So we
just went out to dinner. Had this a really amazing
Japanese restaurant that I had been wanting to go to
that I didn't think, you know, I had told him
about it, and it was kind of difficult to get into.
And so when he told me that was where we
were going. I'm like, and it dawned me, Oh, wait
a minute, you actually planned this, because you can't just

(31:13):
make a snap decision like I do.

Speaker 7 (31:15):
Listen every now and then.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
So did you have a little goodie for you from Tiffany?

Speaker 3 (31:22):
No, no goody from Tiffany. This time we got to
train him.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
We have to train him, I really do. I love
the Japanese food, but if I had a little necklace
with a little diamond, the food would.

Speaker 7 (31:36):
Have That's I really got to get better at that happened.

Speaker 10 (31:41):
You know.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
I really liked you a lot. You're very nice. Sometimes
we have bitches on this show and I have to
be nice to him, and I don't like him. No, really,
I had one nutty broad. It was gorgeous, right beyond beautiful.
I mean she was breathtaking. And I said that to
her a couple of times, and she was going to
walk off the show because she did not want to

(32:04):
be told she's beautiful because it'll make ugly women feel bad.
She was awoke. So I said, well, what am I
going to do? I mean, I tell you, I told
you you're beautiful, and you're upset about that. You're jerk.
When you're old and you're a mess, you're gonna give a.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
Shit about right.

Speaker 5 (32:27):
So we have a six degree of separation because you
did a movie. You did a movie called Little Richard
and a long time, pretty long time ago, and Leon,
who is Little Richard, has been a friend of ours
for like years.

Speaker 7 (32:46):
Let me see, let me give Leona Comlin.

Speaker 9 (32:48):
That's been It's funny that I still remember it to
this day because as you said, that's been a little
while ago. But I have never seen a man with
more beautiful skin than Leon.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
I mean, just like flow. He was rutivating me and I.

Speaker 7 (33:01):
Was like, dang, yeah, Billy, Just.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Isn't it weird that that's what I You.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
Know, he's a great actor. He's very good looking, and
I love it.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
He's a real singer. He has a band. I used
to work for a record label and we put his
record out called Leon and the Peoples is the name
of the band.

Speaker 12 (33:20):
Love is a Beautiful Thing. Oh I love that song Billboard.
Let me tell you something. He's a stunning man. He's
seven foot four tall as well at all thin.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
But his personality when you first meet him, you don't
like him because he's not very friendly, he's not very talkative.
But once you break through that whatever is wrong with him,
you find the most incredible person. I'm nuts about Leon.
I think he's fabulous.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
We don't have him on during the year.

Speaker 4 (33:50):
All the time.

Speaker 5 (33:50):
He might be in a movie.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
I might be in a movie with him, and that's
good because we could bond better when we're on the set.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
I'm actually thinking she could be good for that one too.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
I'm not an actor.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
I'm not an actor. I'm a producer. But I have
like several films that just got funded.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
I promised to be funded.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
I'm not funded yet, and you would be perfect, you know,
for one of them, because you're gorgeous, and we need
lots of talented pretty people. There's a lot of there's
a lot of pretty people, but we need ones that
actually can act well.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
I watched one episode.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
I watched one episode of All the Queen's Men just
to see it. Yeah, because I didn't remember who you
played in Little Richard. I just went down your IMDb
and I saw that you were in it. Yes, Leon,
nobody else's girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
I know what I was.

Speaker 9 (34:44):
Somebody's girlfriend, someone's girlfriend. That that was early on and
so I'm sure it was somebody's girlfriend.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
It was.

Speaker 7 (34:50):
I know there's a there was a fight scene and
it's been a minute.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
I'm sorry, I.

Speaker 9 (34:54):
Don't remember, but I think I probably had maybe three
lines and then it was.

Speaker 7 (35:00):
It wasn't a big part.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
I also remember you from because I used to actually
I used to watch Malcolm and Edti. So I remember
you from Malcolm and Edti, and I have actually the
movies that were working on the director Jennifer James. She
actually did a movie with with Eddie Griffin called A
Typical Love A couple of minute, like ten years ago. Uh,
and so that's another like Little's you know, degree of separation.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
Talk about like so I think I read and I
don't know.

Speaker 5 (35:28):
I think it was you, like you turned down a
scholarship or something to go to school someplace, to do
something else, Like how did you decide? You know, obviously
you were smarter, you wouldn't have gotten a scholarship to
wherever it was anyway, But how did you decide I'm
going to become like a model and then become.

Speaker 4 (35:43):
Like a TV star and a movie star. How did
you How did that revolve in your dad?

Speaker 7 (35:47):
How did I decide that well.

Speaker 9 (35:49):
I mean, yeah, I got an engineering scholarship, full engineering scholarship.
I was, you know, always really good at science and
math in school and whatever, and I was kind of
on that track, but I was had these little sideline
things that I was doing extracurriculars. So I you know,
I did local, little local fashion shows, and I had
taken piano lessons and harp lessons and ballet lessons, and

(36:10):
I had been doing that since I was Yeah, yeah,
there's one to see that from behind there, So that
is so good.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
You know a lot of people that come on they
put like a fake picture back there, but that's I
always So that's a real picture with the piano and
the heart.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
How beautiful. Okay, of course, question question the duris just
to become an actress. Just that's a very long course.
Go ahead, tell it, no finish, I want to hear.

Speaker 9 (36:41):
So how did I'll try and make it as short
as possible. I went to school to go into journalism,
and I did you know, a radio TV film on
the production side, and you know, study journalism.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
I was just a.

Speaker 9 (36:55):
Regular news reporter local TV station for about a year
and a half or so, not even that and then
my fiance at the time and I broke up.

Speaker 7 (37:05):
He broke my heart. I moved out to San Francisco.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
I broke my heart. He was seeing somebody else regrets
another jerk. No, I don't know.

Speaker 9 (37:20):
But I just decided to move out to San Francisco
on a whim. I had been there one time, and
I just just really liked San Francisco and I ended
up getting a job at a modeling school.

Speaker 7 (37:32):
A guy came up from LA to scout for new talent.
He was looking.

Speaker 9 (37:36):
He was a manager and he came to my office,
saw me in my office and asked me if I
had ever done any acting and I told him no,
I had taken one class in college one semester or whatever,
and he.

Speaker 7 (37:47):
Had me read some sides with him. Asked me. He said,
I really feel like I could represent.

Speaker 9 (37:53):
You got a great look, and I thought, give me
a break, even I know that's not a thing.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
He got a great look, but.

Speaker 9 (37:59):
He asked me I moved to LA at the time,
and I said, I don't think so I just moved
to San Francisco.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
He encouraged me to come down for an audition.

Speaker 9 (38:08):
About two weeks later, I read for a show called
Out All Night starring Patti LaBelle, Mars Chestnut and the Fox.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
Got the call back that afternoon.

Speaker 9 (38:21):
Book the first thing I ever read for in my life.
Months later, I was they convinced me to move down
for pilot season and that was the beginning of my
you know, my career.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
Did you get to work with Patti and LaBelle?

Speaker 3 (38:38):
I did, Yeah, sometime.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
I never met her. I love her. She's one of
my favorite singers. And I listened my story. I'm very
good friends with Sister Sledge, with Kathy, very very dear
friend of mine when I lived in Pennsylvania. So I
invited her and her husband to my house for Italian dinner.
And she's said, oh, Ron, I'm supposed to see Patti

(39:02):
LaBelle that night. Is it okay? Listen to this? Is
it okay if I bring Patty Lebelle? I said, what
the fuck are you crazy? Oh my god, Jimmy, Jimmy,
Patty Labelle's coming. I can't breathe. I'm gonna go like food.
I got so excited. Well, anyway, as she turns out,

(39:23):
Patty never came. But I had a chance of meeting
Patty LaBelle. The Sledge sisters are the best people in
the world. Have you ever met them?

Speaker 3 (39:35):
I never met them.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
I love They have a mother who is a saint.
She raised these girls to be the most honest, decent
Virgil thinking, beautiful people. I can't say enough about them,
and they're beautiful girls. So I'm being gay.

Speaker 5 (39:54):
We are family is kind of like a gay anthem
and very important, like especially for older gay people, maybe
not so much for young very important. So we were
at our screening of a TV series in Philadelphia and
we went there and mind you, so, Ron doesn't get
excited when he meets famous people because he was best
friends with Jane Russelly. He knew Elizabeth Taylor, he knew

(40:17):
Betty Davis, he knew every he knows everybody, so everything.
But all of a sudden, I hear him screaming, Jimmy, Jimmy,
get over here, and he's like fifty yards away, And
it was to meet Kathy Sledge. And he was so excited.
A matter of fact, when our show went from radio
to video, she was our very first guest, you know,
radio and video.

often when I'm back East. I cannot tell you she
is an example for people. Just the sweetest, most wonderful
human being I've met. Okay, so I.

Speaker 5 (48:07):
I like who Clark Gable?

Speaker 4 (48:10):
Gabel Gable never did it.

Speaker 5 (48:13):
I like her Grant better, but I like Gary Cooper
the best out.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
Of all of them. No, I never met car I
never met Clark Gabel. He was he died before my
day of running around with the big shots.

Speaker 7 (48:26):
Gotcha, I saw him audience.

Speaker 4 (48:29):
Marilyn Monroe either came close, but I never met her. So,
but I didn't do a movie with Sophia Laurn when
I was nineteen and Tam Punter. So those are my
first stars when I was a kid. I have. Yeah,
that's another question, your favorite movie stars. You're a fan

(48:50):
of movies of a movie star? Oh?

Speaker 9 (48:52):
Absolutely, I mean I have favorite it I mean, you know,
like quote modern day or older or what I mean,
you know, whenever.

Speaker 4 (49:02):
You know.

Speaker 9 (49:03):
I'm a huge Meryl Street fan. I'm a huge Angela
Bassett fan. If we're talking about now going back, I
actually did love Carrie Grant, like I said, Uh, Vivian Lee,
I love Vivian Lee. I was a big Elizabeth Taylor fan.
I saw her in it was the name of the

(49:24):
place is Madras. It was right on Santa Monica Boulevard,
starts with an M.

Speaker 7 (49:31):
Anyway I got. I saw her.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
Elizabeth Taylor shortly before she passed away.

Speaker 9 (49:37):
She you know, came in with a group of people,
and you know, she's at the table over there in
the corner, and I was like.

Speaker 7 (49:43):
God, you know, and I had just got into l a.

Speaker 9 (49:47):
That was that was pretty cool, just to be in
the same room.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
She didn't even look like herself. She was at a
library in Palm Springs because they did a thing and
when she came on the stage, they killed the house lights.
They wheeled her out in the wheelchair, they stood her up,
they took the wheelchair off, and they brought the house
lights up. And then when she left, they did the

(50:14):
same thing. It was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen,
because I met Elizabeth Taylor about twenty five years ago
at amphar in New York City, and she was the
most vibrant, beautiful woman. And then to see her that
way was said. I worked for her. I worked for

(50:35):
the Elizabeth Taylor Foundation for AIDS Research. I did drag shows.
I impersonated Jane Russell, and I had a troop of
drag queens that sang in their own voice, and we
toured all over and raised one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars for Elizabeth Taylor Foundation, which folks, you could still

(50:55):
give money to if you care to. Anyway, Elizabeth Taylor
I found to be not the brightest bulb on Broadway
and a mount on her like a sailor, she swear.
But she was good. She was good, She was very directed,
very honest. So here's why I.

Speaker 5 (51:16):
Want to see It's because I'll tie it into all
this is something I asked for all the actresses and
actress that come on.

Speaker 4 (51:23):
So it's going to be a.

Speaker 5 (51:25):
Three part question. So you've already worked with so many
great people. So if you had an opportunity to work
with any actor living or dead, a male and a
female who would you have liked to have worked with
or who would you like to work with? And then
if you could have ever been in any movie that's
ever been made in history, what movie would you have
liked to been in?

Speaker 4 (51:46):
See you should break that.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
It's like, yeah, that's.

Speaker 4 (51:52):
Between well.

Speaker 9 (51:54):
I mean, well, as I mentioned, I'm a huge Meryl
Street fan.

Speaker 7 (51:58):
So I guess I'll go with Meryl's Street because I
figure if.

Speaker 9 (52:00):
I'm I'm in a movie with her, and then I
must be doing something right, because you know that's I
you know, she she's amazing.

Speaker 7 (52:11):
Male actor.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
Let me say.

Speaker 11 (52:18):
I kind of if I haven't I I I've met him,
but I've never worked with George Clooney, and he's I
I really just like him.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
I met him.

Speaker 9 (52:31):
I actually met him way back when I met him
when he was working on er And and I was
a secretary at Warner Brothers. That was, you know, that
was my you know, my first like quote real job.
So I speak in l A And and my office
door looked a window looked out right at his the

(52:52):
door to his trailer, and so I saw him coming
in and out all the time. And and I once
got a chance to just I remember sitting on the
step of his trailer just chatting with him, because you know,
we would see each other and I had ask him
for his autograph for a friend of mine, and so
you know, by the end of the year, it was
just like, hey, how's it going. But he said to me,

(53:12):
he says, you know, it's just really nice to finally
get the chance to work on something that I'm actually
proud of. And I just found him just very real
and you know, just a nice guy, you know, kind
of self deprecating at times and whatever, and so yeah,
I think I'd really like to do.

Speaker 7 (53:28):
Something with him. I think it would just be fun.

Speaker 4 (53:31):
You know, my father is very nice. I met. His
father is really gentle and very so spoken.

Speaker 5 (53:40):
Actually, one thing I noticed too about your resume is
you know a lot of people so I'm a big
horror movie fan, so this isn't like a dist of
horror movies because that's my favorite genre. But you you're
one of the only people really that we've had, like
everybody has a shitty horror movie. Again there like resume
and I'm like, she doesn't have like a any horror movies.

(54:00):
She's not like getting killed in any horror movies or anything.

Speaker 4 (54:03):
So I don't have one shooting movie. Yeah, but you
avoided that.

Speaker 5 (54:13):
You got noticed for your ability without ever having to, like,
you know, get killed in a Texas Chansaw massacre movie
or something.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
That's true.

Speaker 7 (54:21):
But you know what I did do.

Speaker 9 (54:22):
I did get to work with Roger Corman, now, you know,
and he was kind of King of the lad Yes.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 5 (54:31):
So I other work for Roger Corman though, because he's
kind of like I had a cult status, you know.
So that's that's like a good one. And I noticed
you have another thing called Black Scorpion on the Sci
Fi Channel, which I didn't see that. I don't know
what it is, but you did several of them.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
That's a that's the show.

Speaker 5 (54:48):
Okay, Look I have to watch it just to see it,
just because like I suddenly a lot of fun. So
so what was the movie then that you would have
liked to have been in? That will give us an idea?
What if your favorite movies are too, you know.

Speaker 9 (55:04):
I, uh, there's so many great movies. But you know,
I'm gonna be just be kind of uh what's the word.
I don't know a little bit surface here. I'm in
love with Italy, as I think, well, I don't know
if I've said that, but you know, so I would
have been I would just be under in under the
Tuscan sun, just sh all.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
In Italy. I very good once a year.

Speaker 4 (55:36):
Point, yes, years ago. And I don't care much for
Diana Ross by the way, she's not nice. But anyway,
Dinah roasted Lady Sings the Blues. An Academy Award should
have been given to her. What a performance? What an actress?
Could you believe that little skinny bitch can act better

(55:56):
than anybody? Better than Meryl Street? I mean, did you
ever Ladies Booze?

Speaker 7 (56:01):
And you're right, she was amazed at that that seem
where she's all strung out.

Speaker 4 (56:05):
And she worked odd. She odd in that film because
being you know, a dope addict and having to go
through all of those emotions is and you know that
you're an actress.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
Yeah, yeah, that's pretty fantastic.

Speaker 4 (56:19):
I was going to say that.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
In Philadelphia.

Speaker 9 (56:24):
It's a similar kind of thing, you know, anytime somebody
or what's the one that Matthew McConaughey did, and he was.

Speaker 7 (56:35):
Same kind of yeah.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
Yes, we lost all the weight.

Speaker 5 (56:37):
I forgot that now it brings me to.

Speaker 4 (56:42):
An English actress who was better than Meryll Street. She's
probably right now the most the best actress we have.
And her name is Michelle Doherty Dockery, Dockery, and you
could see her in a film where she us you
know who she is. I'm not watch Down to an Abbey.

Speaker 5 (57:06):
Yes, he plays Lady Mary Downton Abbey.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (57:11):
If you go see the film that's out currently where
she's in an airplane, she's on camera from the beginning
of the film to the end of the film. But
you can see an actress that just changes from happy, laughing, killing, bad, tough, good,
I mean, every emotion of a human being. And it's

(57:31):
all close up camera, close up. I sat in that
theater saying to Jimmy, I've never seen an actress do
so well with so much that she had to do.

Speaker 5 (57:42):
She's in that movie. I forgot the name of a
flight plan or side and a flight risk or slight risk.

Speaker 4 (57:47):
Anyway, the whole movie it's.

Speaker 5 (57:50):
Mark Wahlberg, Mark Wahlberg Toferd Grace, you got to say,
And the whole movie takes place in the cockpit of
an airplane. Basically, it's the entire movie direct.

Speaker 4 (57:59):
And it's not boring by any really good. But you
also in the list right now, you and your husband
have got to go see it.

Speaker 5 (58:07):
You also did a TV series on TNT called Good
Behavior where she played like a.

Speaker 4 (58:12):
She played a prostitute, drug addict, alcohol ecliptomaniac, shoplifter.

Speaker 5 (58:20):
And like everything, everything nothing like you would have expected.

Speaker 4 (58:23):
And she kept changing wigs and kept changing makeup and
becoming all these various people in this She's just brilliant,
totally brilliant.

Speaker 3 (58:33):
Okay, I had no idea. Yeah, I'll be sure to
watch her, watch her work.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
You will love her work.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
I'll definitely do that.

Speaker 4 (58:41):
You know, and act, we know good stuff. We know
who can act and who can't because you know. So
have you been to Italy a lot?

Speaker 3 (58:49):
Yes? I have.

Speaker 9 (58:50):
That's the dream. I'm going to move there one of
these days. I've been six or seven times. I've been
house hunting over there for about a month, and you know,
I kind of love it.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
I lived there for a year with my grandmother. Did
you apart Genoa?

Speaker 3 (59:06):
Genoa?

Speaker 7 (59:06):
I haven't been to General.

Speaker 3 (59:07):
I'm just I've been South.

Speaker 7 (59:10):
And Pulia, and you know, I haven't been to Sardinia.

Speaker 4 (59:13):
Yet.

Speaker 7 (59:14):
I haven't done that.

Speaker 9 (59:14):
I haven't been to either of the you know, any
of the islands yet, but I've just about covered the
entire you know, the entire boot.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
I thought that my father sent me to Italy because
he suspected I was gay. I was seventeen years old.
When I got to Italy. I would walk down the
street and have five men following me, A seventeen year
old pretty boy in Italy, those Italians go crazy. So
I thought to myself, my father sent me here so

(59:43):
I wouldn't be around gay people because his mentality was
as no gay people in Italy. I think all the
Italian men are gay. Anyway, it was the best place
I ever went. I had more days sinnate.

Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
I like love it.

Speaker 5 (01:00:02):
So you guys too. You can follow ya on Instagram.
It's at anyr flak e n y A f l a.

Speaker 4 (01:00:08):
C K delightful.

Speaker 5 (01:00:10):
I have to tell your website is in your really
like her website is anya flat dot com. So what's
what's the next thing we can see you in.

Speaker 9 (01:00:21):
Other than all the queens men? You know what I'm
going to be. I'm working on a podcast on my
own right now, and basically it's yeah, I'm so, I've
I've kind of become My mom is actually in great shape,
but you know, especially for someone of her age she's
ninety eight. Wow, yeah, but she But you know, as
a as a caregiver, family caregiver, I've learned and had

(01:00:44):
to learn a whole lot of stuff. And there's there's
not a lot of resources out there. I haven't found
any podcasts, and nobody steal this idea from me. So
but you know, I just I've found that a lot
of women in my general age group we're all kind
of going through the same or similar stuff right now,
and we have really we kind of depend on each

(01:01:04):
other and lean on each other a lot for ideas
and just support and whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:01:09):
So that's what I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:01:11):
Project. What kind of stuff are you going through?

Speaker 9 (01:01:16):
Well, I mean just everything for just stuff that society
really doesn't prepare you for life. For example, everything from
the legal legal aspects taking you know, becoming a what's
it called getting a power of attorney, insurance issues, medical issues,

(01:01:37):
just you know how.

Speaker 3 (01:01:39):
Social issues, just just from one thing to the next.

Speaker 9 (01:01:42):
So it's nothing major in in.

Speaker 7 (01:01:45):
My life, thankfully.

Speaker 9 (01:01:47):
But my best friend, for example, she's she had they
had to put all of their property. Her parents had
to put all of her property in her name so
that they didn't end up going you know, maybe going
bank and whatnot yet.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Yeah, so just a number of.

Speaker 5 (01:02:04):
Community ideas of how to promote it and where to
place it and stuff like that. You know, just send
me a message because like, this show is seventeen years old,
so we've been on the air for seventeen years and.

Speaker 4 (01:02:17):
Uh, I've never been paid.

Speaker 5 (01:02:18):
I'm really and I'm pretty good at like how to

promote it and also the ways that you can monetize
it and stuff.

Mellia Maguire story. One thing I think is really cool
is you always like in the top three or four
characters of almost everything you're in, So you're never like
at the bottom as an extra. You're always like a
major feature to carry.

Speaker 4 (01:03:24):

Maybe if the time was right, I would, if I be,
and maybe.

Speaker 4 (01:08:20):
I would live a life that's not without you, And maybe.

Speaker 13 (01:08:31):
If I didn't care so much, I'd snatch you out
of someone else's arm.

Speaker 4 (01:08:39):
But maybe.

Speaker 13 (01:08:42):
We were never meant to be in love.

Speaker 4 (01:08:56):
I think about the moment I'd miss it.

Speaker 14 (01:09:01):
And cherish every kiss we never kissed.

Speaker 4 (01:09:07):
But now you're just the one I must resist.

Speaker 13 (01:09:13):

I would live a life that's not with I. And
maybe if I didn't care so much, I'd snatch you
out someone else's on. But may we were never meant

(01:09:56):
to be in love.

Speaker 13 (01:10:03):
Maybe you by keep on looking, I will find another.

Someone just like you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
But may be.

Speaker 13 (01:10:17):
No one else I find will ever do alone. Maybe
when the time is right, you're gonna find me.

Speaker 4 (01:10:35):
Then you will live a life that's not that me.
And baby, you will know I care so much that's
some day you'll get into my arm. But maybe we

(01:11:13):
were never meant.

Dead Kennedy's concert. Now I would get trampled.

Speaker 3 (01:13:45):
So how are you doing with your knee surgery.

Speaker 5 (01:13:48):
I'm doing really good, much better. It's my third time
on the same knee. They messed up the first two,
but I'm doing significantly better. I had therapy yesterday. I
go back again tomorrow. It's a little soret today, but
I'm happy. I'm happy that it's doing better, and I
needed to heal because Run's getting his done in April.
In that way, he's taking care of me and then

(01:14:08):
I can take care of him.

Speaker 4 (01:14:09):
By the way, let me ahead.

Speaker 16 (01:14:11):
You know, I had one done from an old injury.
I had one done a year ago, and it took
a whole year for me to really be back in
the game, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:14:21):
So I hope in mine isn't that long. So we'll see.

Speaker 4 (01:14:24):
It's amazing how many people I see here have knee surgery,
knee replacement. Yeah. My parents lived to b eighty, never
had knee surgery. My grandmother lived in ninety six. None
of my family has had knee surgery. No one in
our neighborhood had knee surgery, and I never met anyone

(01:14:45):
that had knee surgery. Now it seems everyone's got to
have knee surgery.

Speaker 16 (01:14:51):
I I you know, I was part of that. Part
of that is I think there my parents are same.
My parents never had to have knee injury. But I
was a dancer, and I think that our generation probably
were a little bit more athletic. There was a lot
of emphasis on football, and and you know, we really

(01:15:13):
I know, I pushed my body. I was into when
in high school I did roller derby, if you can imagine.

Speaker 4 (01:15:20):
So I love that.

Speaker 16 (01:15:22):
So the damage from that just alone in high school.
You think, ah, no big deal, and I never broke anything.
But I danced with Joe. You might know Joe Tremaine.
I danced with him for years. And Joe Tremaine, who
had all the case started all the conventions. He's a
wonderful dance teacher. Everybody studied with him in the day

(01:15:45):
in the seventies. Hellen Hunt, I mean she was my
dance partner some of the time. And you know, everybody
was in those dance classes, and we really pushed ourselves.
And I had a couple of injuries, so I think
that's it's only that knee that I injured. So maybe
the only one I have to.

Speaker 4 (01:16:03):
That dancer was famous in the seventies.

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
I was a big teacher.

Speaker 4 (01:16:10):
I couldn't possibly know him. I wasn't born yet.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
Well maybe I was.

Speaker 4 (01:16:18):
Ron's going to be eighty five, and Jesus, here were
I to tell people?

Speaker 5 (01:16:23):
Look, I wish yes, and he's working all the time,
so I have So I was a competitive I.

Speaker 4 (01:16:32):
Forget my age. He reminds me, but I forget.

Speaker 5 (01:16:35):
I was a competitive tennis player through college. So I
traveled all over the country playing tennis and so and
then when we lived in Pennsylvania. I fell on the
ice and twisted it. That made it like worse, and
it just kind of got worse from there. So and
we had a car accident, and I had a bunch
of different things that attributed to it all.

Speaker 4 (01:16:54):
But but anyway, I'm happy to have you on.

Speaker 5 (01:16:57):
So I'm a huge and I know you have a
like a million kinds of things on your resume, but
I'm a huge horror movie fan. And Ron's basically a
Hollywood fan. He doesn't like the horror movies as much
as even though he's in a million of them. But
he's in a million of them. But I was telling
him before you came on, but The Hills Have Eyes

(01:17:17):
for me is one of the liking in the top
five or six, you know, most iconic films of horror
that created the entire genre. And you're in, you know,
The Hills Have Eyes. And we've had Michael Berryman on
the show. We've had Dee Wallace on the show, and
hasn't got a great people And this is actually Michael
Michael Berryman or you don't know him. And and I

(01:17:41):
used to go to all that, so I was a
clothes The latest show actually started is I was like
a celebrity clothing designer, and I used to take close
to all the different conventions and give them to the
stars to get them to come on the show.

Speaker 4 (01:17:53):
And so.

Speaker 5 (01:17:55):
They would like meet me, and they would like me,
and then they would come on the show. And that's
how this show started off.

Speaker 4 (01:18:00):
In his body, but they preferred the shirt.

Speaker 5 (01:18:02):
Yeah, they preferred the shirt. I mean, so you know, nowadays,
I don't know how it works because this podcast is
seventeen years old, But like when I started, my first
guests were Malcolm McDowell, Lance Hendrickson. I mean, at the
very beginning, nobody even knew who we were, and we
have these like huge people on and uh and we've
just built it from there. So so tell us some
kind of a story about the Hills have Ice. First

(01:18:23):
of all, did you have to audition or did you
just get hired? Is it one of your first seconds.

Speaker 4 (01:18:28):
Before we go any further.

Speaker 5 (01:18:29):
Which one is that I can't explain it if you
don't real quickly on it.

Speaker 16 (01:18:33):
It's the one it was Wes Craven's second horror movie.

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
And will give me a little bit about it so
I could find it in my head.

Speaker 3 (01:18:42):
Okay, uh, the.

Speaker 16 (01:18:45):
Normal family, I will call it, are driving through the
desert and we stop at an old gas station and
the old codure that runs the gas station says, don't
go further into that desert. There are people out there,
and then there's a can of whole family that he
was old.

Speaker 4 (01:19:04):
I remember.

Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
Yeah, it's fabulous.

Speaker 4 (01:19:07):
It's funny because the movie I was in it was
the same part. They must have stolen it, Don't Go
Down Circus Road, because the clowns of it they got. Yeah,
it's kind of wasn't it funny? Years later my movie
was Don't Go Down Circus Road.

Speaker 16 (01:19:25):
Well, it came out in nineteen seventy seven and it
became a big cult classic, and I still get to
go to the conventions and differently, But how I got
the part.

Speaker 3 (01:19:40):
I didn't the audition. Actually, I'm kind of I I
was not.

Speaker 16 (01:19:46):
I had been Jon Travilta's girlfriend and Welcome Back Cotter
and I had been doing a lot of stand.

Speaker 4 (01:19:51):
Up back with that one Go Back You Went First.

Speaker 16 (01:19:53):
I was on Welcome Back Catters, Jon Travilta's girlfriend Bambi
from the Beach, and I did a lot of comedy
lots and lots and lots of comedies, and so the
casting director knew my work and told Wes about me,
and I had a little buzz going on in Hollywood,
you know. I was, you know, not a star, a
big star, but you know, a little star.

Speaker 4 (01:20:15):
On your way up.

Speaker 16 (01:20:16):
I was on my way up and Wes called me
in for an interview, and on the interview we did
a little improv with each other and he offered me
the part at the table. So at the at the
meeting on sunset at one of the ninety two hundred
sunset I think, pretty good memory. But an he offered
me the part that afternoon, and I was ecstatic. And

(01:20:40):
Martin Gage was my agent, and he said, you're not
going to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
It'll ruin your career. You know, you're.

Speaker 16 (01:20:45):
Totally established as as comedian and it's going to really
mess it up. And I said, no, I'm going to
star in this movie. I had the it says starring
Susan Lanier, and so I wanted to star in a movie.
I didn't care what kind of movie, as long as
it wasn't born.

Speaker 5 (01:21:02):
So you know, that's an iconic one though. So it's fabrious.
So let's go back to the We'll come back to that.
Let's go back to the because you were on a
bunch of TV shows. I wrote down a bunch of
the ones. First of all, I was friends with Ron
Polillo back in the day I had it and one
of the agencies that books everybody on the conventions and stuff,
you know, for many years, and he was one of
my clients that we booked into things. But you guys,

(01:21:24):
so not only was she on Welcome Back Hotter, which
was like the biggest show ever for at the time,
she was on episodes of Happy Days, Tony Orlando and Dawn.
Tony Orlando has been on our show like three or
four times.

Speaker 4 (01:21:36):
Is he not a sweetheart?

Speaker 5 (01:21:37):
He's a sweetheart, Barnie.

Speaker 4 (01:21:39):
I love Tony's fab Barnaby Jones.

Speaker 5 (01:21:42):
She was on Phyllis, and you would know Phyllis that
was Colors Leachman's because she was He was friends with
Chlorus Leishman, Electro Woman, and Dinah Girl. That's my favorite
because that was just I love all that superhero and
horror stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:21:55):
I was friends with Chlorus Leachman and the other Last week.
Last week, a blonde girl comes on the show and
she's the granddaughter of Cloris.

Speaker 3 (01:22:06):
Oh, that's sweet.

Speaker 4 (01:22:07):
So we have such stories to tell about Chlorus. I
loved Chlorus.

Speaker 5 (01:22:12):
She was one of the great Susan played in I
Love Electro Woman and Dinna Gir She played Miss Dazzle.

Speaker 4 (01:22:20):
Do you have an action figure for that? They like
coming back from the old days and making an action
figure of you.

Speaker 3 (01:22:25):
Yet I haven't seen one.

Speaker 16 (01:22:26):
I haven't action figure of Brenda from the Hills Have Eyes,
but I haven't seen one of Missus Dazzle yet.

Speaker 4 (01:22:32):
But maybe it's going to come back.

Speaker 5 (01:22:35):
Oh, I'll look for that. I collect action figures, and
I have an extensive, extensive collection. Everybody comes on the guest,
so I'm going to look for you now, let's see
if I can find one. She was also in Threes Company,
You guys, I said, welcome back Hodder, Alice Policewoman, Switch
Days of Our Lives, So little time. So that's just
some of the things that she's done. She's also done

(01:22:55):
a bunch of ton great movies, which we will talk about.
But I'm going to go back to the Hills Have
Eyes a little bit. I'm sure you are.

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:23:02):
In the seventies, I didn't actually go to conventions and stuff,
you know, like was there a were there conventions in
the seventies or that's like a later thing that came around,
Like you.

Speaker 4 (01:23:13):
Were ten years old. I was when I was thirteen.
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 16 (01:23:17):
So you know, I never heard of conventions then. I
think conventions came twenty years later. Maybe you know I
don't go to a lot of them because I don't.
It's not my thing. I'm very divided in my music career.
So I the conventions are work. They're hard work. I

(01:23:38):
love meeting fans. I love the fans. I love the
people that go there. But it's you fly there and
it's overnight, and you get there and you sell your
merch and I feel so weird about paying for people
to pay me for my autograph. That just feels weird
to me.

Speaker 5 (01:23:55):
And so, yeah, so did it change like I because
I don't know, Like so I didn't become a horror fan,
a big horror fan really until I was in college,
so so like I wouldn't have seen The Hills Have
Eyes until like the mid eighties. And so how did
like did it change things for you? Like automatically? Because
was it a contract? I'm sure it was a controversial

(01:24:16):
film that had nothing been made like that before.

Speaker 3 (01:24:18):
Well, it was R rated for one thing.

Speaker 16 (01:24:20):
It originally it was X rated, and then they changed
it to R rated because I'm the one that gets
raped twice and so at any rate.

Speaker 3 (01:24:30):
They changed it to an R rating. And it did
become a big cult movie, but and very popular.

Speaker 16 (01:24:38):
But it it didn't start off that way. I think
it gained momentum over the years and just became bigger
and bigger and bigger.

Speaker 3 (01:24:46):
And I love the fact that I did it. I
have no regrets.

Speaker 16 (01:24:50):
And I'm a firm believer that every time you say
yes to something, it opens the door to something else.

Speaker 4 (01:24:58):
Oh absolutely.

Speaker 3 (01:25:00):
And I had a lot of credits by the time
I did The Hills Have Eyes, and I was sort
of not bored with it.

Speaker 16 (01:25:12):
But Hollywood is a hard town and and and where's
you down?

Speaker 3 (01:25:18):
And I kind of wanted something different.

Speaker 16 (01:25:21):
After I finished The Hills Have Eyes, and I was
still doing some shows and TV shows, but I wasn't
I really I'm through The Hills Have Eyes. I met
my husband, Delaney Brown Lanny and Bonnie and friends, and
so we fell in love and we started writing music together.

(01:25:45):
I started a band he had a band, and we
just it was just this wonderful love music collaboration to
what we were in love and we were doing music
together and I just felt like it was more exciting
and maybe not as jaded. I had to say that
the music business is not as jaded as the acting business,

(01:26:09):
but they're kind of I mean, they're equally weird. But
I just felt that the people I was surrounding myself
with were so down to earth and fabulous.

Speaker 3 (01:26:20):
And I just love music. It suthes my soul. It
makes me peaceful.

Speaker 16 (01:26:26):
Acting doesn't Acting is you know, it's great, it's fun,
but there's not much peacefulness about it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:34):
You know.

Speaker 16 (01:26:35):
It's it's a rush, rush, great cut, okay, next, and
you're on a rush the whole time.

Speaker 6 (01:26:41):
So so with that, I find being on set very
very I enjoy it because it takes my.

Speaker 4 (01:26:50):
Mind away from life. Yeah, when I'm on set, the character,
I don't know anything that's going on in the world
could explode. So to me, that's my rest and my piece.
You know, you have to concentrate on what you're doing
and what you're trying to be.

Speaker 5 (01:27:08):
So wait, tell us a little bit about Bill then,
because I have some I wanted to mention some other movies,
but tell us. So, I'm a music publicist. That's how
I support myself a while. I'm raising funds for the
movies that I produce, and because sometimes it takes I
do bigger budget movies, so sometimes it takes a lot longer.
And I work with a lot of big musicians, very

(01:27:29):
well known musicians and stuff. Tell me a little bit
about the music you're doing. Now, what kind of music
do you do now?

Speaker 16 (01:27:35):
I'm getting ready to go back into the recording studio
probably in two weeks. But I write music all the time,
every day. So I released a Christmas single last Christmas
that had a little buzz going with it. And I
think it's been the way to make money in music
now is that it gets placed in movies. Your music

(01:27:56):
is placed on TV or in movies. And so I'm
did well by Wixen and so they shoped my stuff.
And it's funny. When I was younger, I didn't love
anything but acting and I and my whole dream was.

Speaker 3 (01:28:14):
To die acting.

Speaker 16 (01:28:16):
You know, when I'm a hundred, I wanted you know,
Harold and Maude, I mean, there's no end to it,
get old and keep acting. And one day my friend
had a fortune teller come over to my house, a psychic,
a psychic, and she and she was doing our cards
and I wanted to hear all this stuff about acting,

(01:28:38):
and I was on and I was really busy acting
at that point.

Speaker 3 (01:28:42):
And she went, now, and you know, in the future, it's.

Speaker 4 (01:28:46):
Going to be music.

Speaker 16 (01:28:47):
And I've never done a lot of music at all.
And I said, oh, no way. I mean, I loved music,
but I didn't feel that I had a talent in
that area.

Speaker 3 (01:28:58):
I was an actress and so and then she said, now,
not in these cards.

Speaker 16 (01:29:02):
It's going to be when you're older, it's going to
be all mostly music. And it's so weird that she
kind of nailed it or whatever. I mean, I just
did to movies. So you know, I still do films,
but an act and I love to act, but.

Speaker 4 (01:29:18):
The music is where your heart is.

Speaker 16 (01:29:21):
Well, I don't have to wait for somebody to give
me apart, you know, that's true.

Speaker 4 (01:29:27):
That's true.

Speaker 5 (01:29:27):
You don't have to wait like he had someone though.

Speaker 4 (01:29:30):
Yeah, I had the most famous psychic of all.

Speaker 5 (01:29:36):
She was like a psychic for like Regular's wife or so.

Speaker 4 (01:29:39):
She was the most and she read my whatever, and
she said, you're going to knock your head against a wall,
but when you're at the end of your life, you're
going to have a road with a fok and you're
going to choose the correct one and you're going to
be very famous for writing. And I thought writing, but

(01:30:02):
I'm an actor. Well, I've just written the movie and
we're trying to fund it, so maybe that's what she's
talking about. Who knows. But this woman, Epelmaya Johnson is
her name. It just came to me. She is phenomenal.
I think it kind of happened because I don't know.

(01:30:23):
I don't know. He's like that.

Speaker 5 (01:30:24):
There's an older Asian life, so he came out of
retirement when we got together. We've been together thirteen years.

Speaker 4 (01:30:30):
I was married to a woman and I had two children,
two daughters. And my woman was a beautiful model who
decided she didn't want to be married and be a
mother or a wife, so she took a powder and
we never saw her for thirty five years and then
she died. I raly spoke my daughters, so I wasn't

(01:30:50):
going to have daughters running the gutters or the streets
of Hollywood. I moved back to Long Island to a very,
very proper community, and my children were raised without drugs
and crap.

Speaker 5 (01:31:08):
And then he met me and I brought him out
of retirement and brought him on the show. And he's
made a bunch of movies in the last many years,
and he's got five of them that mine.

Speaker 4 (01:31:17):
What did we know?

Speaker 5 (01:31:18):
But I'm just telling you, like because it was kind
of like a cool thing, because I want, well, I
want to go.

Speaker 4 (01:31:21):
Back to her. Well, you know what My point is,
I really am disappointed in what you're talking about, Susan,
because I think that you are probably a very good actress,
and I think that you're denying the public performances. And
I don't think I would snub being an actor. If

(01:31:42):
I were you, I think I'd get back in there.
And she just said she loved it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:46):
No acting.

Speaker 16 (01:31:48):
I'm saying I got pinned for two things the last month.
Pinned you know that means you might it's between you
and somebody.

Speaker 3 (01:31:57):
Yes, And both times went to the other person. It's
hard work, I mean, and it's heartbreaking and.

Speaker 16 (01:32:05):
You just have to wait till somebody goes, Okay, we're
going to give you the part. Are yeah, you got casts,
and I mean that's nothing. Is a better feeling than
that nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:32:14):
When you're a resume, you should have no problem finding work.
I mean you should put it out there that you're available.

Speaker 3 (01:32:20):
Maybe I do, I do, I do, because we're going.

Speaker 4 (01:32:23):
To do it. We're going to do it now. Susan
would be happy to be in a good movie, not
a crappy movie, a good n So please talk to
contact her and put her back in the business. Actually,
she's missed by her, you guys.

Speaker 5 (01:32:39):
She did a movie in nineteen eighty four call her
Life as a Man with Mark with Mark Singer, Lorraine Newman,
Joan Collins, David Paymer, Robert Coulpan, Robin Douglas. Great cast.

Speaker 4 (01:32:50):
She wa, did you see that? How did I miss that?
I don't know. We should look for that movie of
the week. It was a movie of.

Speaker 5 (01:32:56):
The week I watch. We love those because they put
all those movies week on two B and we watched Life.
That's mostly what we watch a lot of it to
B and TCM. She also, you guys, and everybody knows
Devnie Pinn. She's been on the show many times, and
she did a movie. Actually it was the directorial debut
of Devinie Pinn called The Black Mass.

Speaker 4 (01:33:15):
It was all over the place.

Speaker 5 (01:33:16):
I think it was even at con with Eileen Deets,
Mike Ferguson, Kathleen Kinmont, which you met at the Kathleen
Kim you met when we went to the Jane fond
of premiere for them, Jane Fond the movie, Jeremy London,
Sarah Nicholin has been on the show. Jeremy London's been
on the show, Loutel. Everybody in the movie's.

Speaker 4 (01:33:33):
Been on the show.

Speaker 5 (01:33:34):
And that movie is available now, you guys, so you
can check it out.

Speaker 16 (01:33:38):
Yeah, I just had to do a promo for it
for Scream TV.

Speaker 3 (01:33:44):
It's it's going to be streaming on Scream TV, So
I did a PI.

Speaker 4 (01:33:49):
You still have a good look, Thank you, Thank you too.
And you could work well.

Speaker 5 (01:33:54):
A good personality to you personality.

Speaker 4 (01:33:57):
I think she should really pursue her working acting.

Speaker 16 (01:34:00):
That's why, believe me, Ron I have reps, and they
and and and they're trying. And when you when you
get to you know, between you and somebody else, you're close.

Speaker 3 (01:34:12):
If you consider that.

Speaker 16 (01:34:13):
You know this, the thousands of people trying to get
these roles. So one of them was a series regular.

Speaker 3 (01:34:19):
And I was. I wouldn't.

Speaker 16 (01:34:21):
My dream would be to do another series and be
a series regular again.

Speaker 4 (01:34:26):
And you will, you will, you will, That's what I
would love now, so commigation. When I was younger, I
was very black, black hair, black everything dark, very ethnic,
and they wouldn't hire me because I was ethnic looking.
They wanted Troy down to you, they tamp Hunter, They
wanted all the blue eyed, you know Americana boys. So

(01:34:48):
I never got work. But when I did work, I
was a mobster, always a low life person. Now that
I'm white haired, I suddenly got lighter. When they need
an old bag a grandfather, they say get Russell because
Russell's one hundred and twelve, but he could still talk,

(01:35:10):
walk and breathe.

Speaker 3 (01:35:12):
That's key.

Speaker 4 (01:35:14):
No, I want. It's easier getting work at eighty five
than it was a twenty one.

Speaker 16 (01:35:19):
Trust that's great, and that gives that definitely gives me
hope because I keep thinking, Okay, I am losing out
to older actresses, or not older actresses that look older.
But if I still want to do music, I'm not
about to cut my hair short and go gray and
curly and willow lady looking.

Speaker 3 (01:35:40):
So I ain't doing that even for an acting.

Speaker 5 (01:35:42):
Now you don't need to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
So I wear wigs.

Speaker 16 (01:35:45):
I can wear wigs, they can age me up. But
I keep losing out to people that you know, Look
they change.

Speaker 5 (01:35:51):
I think that's going to change.

Speaker 4 (01:35:53):
So then when you do movies, you put it in.

Speaker 5 (01:35:55):
Your contract that you want to put add a song
to the soundtrack if they have a son.

Speaker 16 (01:35:58):
Not I my songs in a couple of the movies
that I have done, and only because it was you know,
they find out later, like the movie cut that I did,
I'm actually there is a scene with me in the
nightclub with my band on stage at the inbar in Hollywood,
and so.

Speaker 3 (01:36:19):
And so.

Speaker 16 (01:36:20):
Some of the directors or producers once they find out
I do music, and I don't let them know that
on an audition necessarily, unless they just know. We'll say
you've got any tunes you want to pitch, and I'll pitch.

Speaker 3 (01:36:32):
A couple of songs and they usually end up in
the movie. So that's cool.

Speaker 4 (01:36:35):
Do you make money with music? Because yeah, I've nixt
said she will not record another song because they steal
all her music and she doesn't make a nickel.

Speaker 7 (01:36:52):
No.

Speaker 16 (01:36:52):
Actually, I have a nice income on music, so more
so than acting actually, and so uh I I've been
lucky with that.

Speaker 5 (01:37:03):
So what is the name of your band?

Speaker 4 (01:37:05):
You do you? What's you?

Speaker 5 (01:37:07):
You perform as a band as a solo person? Tell
us a little bit about it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:10):
Perform as Susan Lanier. Uh and but our sus laneir Bramlet.
The thing is at COVID.

Speaker 16 (01:37:21):
I stopped doing it to start writing a book about
a year before COVID.

Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
Then COVID hit, nobody was playing.

Speaker 16 (01:37:31):
And then uh, now that it's kind of it's not over, but.

Speaker 3 (01:37:37):
It's changed.

Speaker 16 (01:37:38):
I have been asked to come to New York and
play at Pangaea in the Valley. I would do that
just as me. I wouldn't take a band with me.
I've got players in Manhattan that will work with me.
And that's what I'm really working on now is to
finish up a couple of the song I look over
at my piano like you can see it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:56):
Uh uh.

Speaker 16 (01:38:00):
So I have to finish up a couple of tunes
I don't want to put in the show, and then
I will do a show in New York.

Speaker 4 (01:38:05):
What new genres? Then?

Speaker 5 (01:38:06):
What genres do you profess?

Speaker 16 (01:38:07):
I call it swamp because it's a blues swampy sound, cabaret, funny, dirty, edgy,
you know. So I integrate sort of a life story
or stories with the songs that inspire me to write.
And like in the eighties, the economy had kind of

(01:38:32):
crashed down around eighty nine or something like that.

Speaker 3 (01:38:35):
What things weren't great. And my mother was in East Texas.

Speaker 16 (01:38:39):
That's where I was raised, in Dallas, and so she
called me up and she said, you better, you better.

Speaker 3 (01:38:46):
Get out of there.

Speaker 16 (01:38:48):
All I hear about the soup kitchens opening up in
LA and now they're opening up in Texas. You know,
everybody's eating out of a soup Kitchen's what I see
on the news. So i'm you know, oh okay, I'll
write a song called Soup Kitchen. So it's very funky,
and I add that into the show, you know, the
homeless issue, the Home Homeless. I have used it for fundraising.

(01:39:12):
The song, it's kind of edgy song, but it talks
about I like to write music about things that bother me.
Are I'm feeling, you know, a certain emotion of breakup
or death or loss or good things too, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:39:30):
So okay, so hold on let me ask you question.
So first of all, like, so if they want to
people like is your music on Spotify? Like can people
actually go and hear your music?

Speaker 3 (01:39:38):
Very much?

Speaker 4 (01:39:39):
Say, primarily for like movies and stuff.

Speaker 16 (01:39:41):
When I stopped all those streaming things, I really I
released Swamp Cabaret with CD baby that does distribute through
iTunes and Spotific. Just now kind of getting back into
how to the best ways to market music?

Speaker 3 (01:40:00):
Mostly I leave.

Speaker 16 (01:40:02):
That up to the uh, the song people that are
pitching the music for different projects, right.

Speaker 3 (01:40:11):
And that, and that I find is the only way
to actually make money.

Speaker 5 (01:40:16):
But even if you get it on Spotify and all
those things, that no gat I mean, you have to
have so many streams, you know to make any money.

Speaker 4 (01:40:22):
Yeah, it's good. Music business is really tough. We have
a good friend Soho Johnny who has a label and
the money that he has put into that and the
return isn't cardally anything. It's sad. It's really sad because
years ago you were owned by Columbia or Columbia Records,

(01:40:46):
Am I right, Columbia Record.

Speaker 1 (01:40:49):
R c A.

Speaker 4 (01:40:50):
You know you were under contract to them, and they
show you they paid you for all. Yeah, you made
millions of dollars. Nothing like that. Now, it's nothing like that.

Speaker 16 (01:41:02):
Business unless you're really young and have you know, you're
Miley Cyrus or you've got.

Speaker 3 (01:41:08):
A new rap group or whatever any of that.

Speaker 16 (01:41:12):
I'm I just enjoy things, you know, I'm not at
a I'm luckily. I I'm not desperate to go make
a living at this age. You know, It's like, I'm
so content with just playing at Pangaea or Vitello's or someplace.

Speaker 4 (01:41:35):
In New York, New York.

Speaker 3 (01:41:37):
You know, it's I that it feeds my spirit, my soul.

Speaker 16 (01:41:42):
I'm not trying to take the world by storm and
become Meryl Streep at this age. That ship I think
has sailed and you never know.

Speaker 5 (01:41:51):
So I have a question for Here's what I usually
I usually asked this question for actors, and we'll go
back to it because we have a couple of minutes.
But h so, as a as A as a singer, singer,
songwriter in a band or something. If if you were
gonna get put on any bill to play with any band,
living or dead, what band would you want to like
play with? Like, uh, and it could be anybody in them.

(01:42:14):
And then who are some of your influences, you know,
as a musician, like in the seventies and the eighties,
Like who did you actually like?

Speaker 3 (01:42:21):
Well, my favorite all time is Ray Charles.

Speaker 16 (01:42:24):
But wow, but you know, to be on a bill,
you know, I adore Stevie Nicks, I adore Bob Dylan Ria.

Speaker 4 (01:42:34):
Yeah, Stevie is the nicest girl.

Speaker 16 (01:42:37):
I would you know, a dream come true would be
to open for somebody like Stevie Nicks.

Speaker 3 (01:42:42):
But you know, there's so many great.

Speaker 5 (01:42:46):
This is a dream come true question.

Speaker 4 (01:42:48):
Anyway, So it's okay, do you listen to any modern
day music?

Speaker 5 (01:42:51):
Like, is there anybody out right now that you think,
Oh my god, I really like I love Adele?

Speaker 4 (01:42:56):
Okay, I love it and I love I.

Speaker 16 (01:43:00):
Think Miley Cyrus is very talented. You like her too,
You know, they're just so many, there's so many good ones.
I mean, I really I love Christina Christina Aguilera. I
think her chops are amazing. I don't have chops like that,
I guess. Really my favorite female artists everybody of my

(01:43:23):
similar to my genre, but I don't compare myself to
her as Bonnie Rait.

Speaker 3 (01:43:28):
I mean, I think Bonnie rad is amazing, fantastic, you.

Speaker 16 (01:43:32):
Know, and she's just she's my favorite. Well, beth Heart
is my favorite right now too. Beth Heart is my favorite,
and then Bonnie Raid and they're both. You know, it
depends on the day. I might pick up put on
Bonnie and I might put on.

Speaker 3 (01:43:49):
Beth Heart because beth Art is amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:43:53):
I'm stuck in a groove because my favorite singer is
Peggy Lee and Johnny Manthis. He listens to a lot
of Johnny I think that Peggy Lee and Johnny Manthis
are one two of the greatest singers of our ever ever.

Speaker 5 (01:44:10):
You know, I'm listening to a lot nowadays of the
modern people because I listened to like a lot of
seventies and eighties music.

Speaker 4 (01:44:15):
But I like Benson Boone.

Speaker 5 (01:44:17):
So Benson Boone is somebody who I've been listening a
lot to.

Speaker 4 (01:44:20):
But let's switch the can. Let's switch the question now.

Speaker 5 (01:44:22):
To an actor as an actress bucket list. Because you've
worked with some really phenomenal people in your career, uh
if you.

Speaker 4 (01:44:31):
That's why I'm saying, she's such you have such a
good career. She's just saying the roles I got your
pressed when she said.

Speaker 3 (01:44:43):
Give me a job, I't do it.

Speaker 5 (01:44:46):
I listen now because I have actually have a lot
of filmmakers.

Speaker 4 (01:44:52):
You've got such a head start over so many people.
We know. God, I have a list.

Speaker 5 (01:44:57):
I keep the people going on the show. When producers
come to me and say, who do you know?

Speaker 4 (01:45:02):
You know that we could use.

Speaker 5 (01:45:02):
So I'll put your name now on the list that
I give everybody but bucket list male and female actor.
If you could work with any male or female actor,
living or dead, who would you have liked to work with?
And then the second part is if you could have
ever been in any movie ever in.

Speaker 4 (01:45:16):
The history of movies, what movie would you have.

Speaker 5 (01:45:18):
Loved to have a party in?

Speaker 3 (01:45:21):
Well? I okay, bucket.

Speaker 16 (01:45:23):
List, Well, Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty would have been my favorites.
Movie with them or Meryl Streep. I mean Meryl Streep.
I think it's an absolute genius. To work with her
would be a live stream. And I regret that I
did not get the role of Carrie in the original

(01:45:47):
movie Carrie. I did test screen test for that and
with Brian de Palmer, and so.

Speaker 3 (01:45:54):
That would have been a great career.

Speaker 5 (01:45:56):
Did you screen test to play actually Carrie?

Speaker 4 (01:45:59):
Yeah? Oh my god? What of them?

Speaker 5 (01:46:01):
That's like the most iconic move I mean, that's like
The Hills Have I that's so awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:46:07):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (01:46:07):
So what do you think the remakes of everything?

Speaker 10 (01:46:09):
Like?

Speaker 5 (01:46:09):
Did you watch the remakes of The Hills Have Eyes?
I thought the first one they did a good job
with and then the rest.

Speaker 4 (01:46:14):
Of them all were terrible. I didn't like all the
other ones after that.

Speaker 5 (01:46:17):
I agree with you.

Speaker 16 (01:46:18):
I'm with Delaney, And I did go to the screening
of the remake of the of the of the Hills
Have Eyes, and you know, it was all gimmicky, now
you know it's all.

Speaker 3 (01:46:31):
You know?

Speaker 16 (01:46:32):
It didn't It lacked the rawness I think of the original,
and the remake I thought was just too superficial. I
didn't believe it much, but you know, of course I'm biased.

Speaker 4 (01:46:42):
So there you are. Sum I have to pass something
onto Lauren Boocall you know who she is. Of course
she told me this, she said, Rawn, a movie is
only old after you've seen it. That's right, and I
passed it on to everyone. There's no such thing as
out of date movies. So your eyes is not out

(01:47:05):
of date. After you see it, well, it's done, but
until then it's still a current movie.

Speaker 3 (01:47:11):
That's a great line, by the way, I love that line.

Speaker 4 (01:47:14):
And told me that I went to a thousand dollars
plate luncheon that my friend had and I was covering
it and there were twelve gay guys. They obeyed a
thousand bucks to have lunch and there was no seat
for me. So I'm standing, and I said, did they
expect me to stand? Why everybody's eating? And this is

(01:47:34):
like a slave, And Lauren was aware of it. She said,
sit on my lap. So I took her up on
it and I went, and I really didn't. I held
myself and I sat on her lap. She was just lovely.
Lauren Bacall was a very very funny lady and terrific.

Speaker 3 (01:47:58):
I didn't meet her.

Speaker 16 (01:47:59):
I spent time with Shelley Winners, my dear friend.

Speaker 4 (01:48:06):
The night before she died, I went to the hospice
and I said, okay, Shelly, now you're going to get
better because you got to do my show. She said, ron,
I promise you as soon as I get out of here,
I'll do your show.

Speaker 1 (01:48:19):
Uh.

Speaker 16 (01:48:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:48:19):
I was pretty close close with her and I did
Silver Spoon. Yeah, I would go. I didn't meet her
through that. I met her. I knew her through after studio.

Speaker 16 (01:48:30):
But I did a play here in La Night of
the Iguana with Richard Chamberlain at the Almond. Soon I
started in it with Richard Chamberlain, Dorothy Maguire, Eleanor Parker,
Raymond Massey, and Tennessee Williams was one of the uh producers.
I got spend a lot of time with Tennessee Williams,

(01:48:52):
and that was kind of the highlight of my you know,
I started off in New York in the theater, and
I only wanted to do theaters. So when I got
an opportunity I got. I got my first job from
doing a play from I see him coming and seeing
me on the road and inviting me to La So
I see him was my first agent here.

Speaker 3 (01:49:13):
So it was it was nice.

Speaker 5 (01:49:17):
You really you really got it, You really got I
don't want to twelve.

Speaker 17 (01:49:21):
Doesn't matter why the time anyway, Susie, Susan, I mean
I think that way.

Speaker 4 (01:49:27):
Hang on, give me a fucking break, huh.

Speaker 16 (01:49:33):
I have a book Shelley gave me that Tennessee endorsed
to her, and so I treasure that Shelley Winters because
he's dear Shelley Blah blah blah Tennessee and Parker.

Speaker 3 (01:49:48):
Yeah, I mean I.

Speaker 4 (01:49:51):
She was.

Speaker 3 (01:49:51):
She was one of the stars of that play.
