Speaker 1 (00:00):
In Crested Butte because there is going to be the
Colorado premiere of a new film called Tova, and it
is directed and produced by David Serrero, and it is
about a legendary actress. And I shut her to say,
if you're not a Broadway person, maybe Tovah felts You
is one of those actresses that you see and go, oh,
I like her.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
You can't remember her name, but you like her.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
She is also one of the stars of one of
my favorite shows out right now on Netflix called Nobody
Wants You, and she just sucks up the oxygen on
the show when she appears. And now she joins me
to talk about this new film, Tovah Felt You and
David Serrero welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
To the program.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Thank you, so I thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I have to ask, because I is it weird, Tova,
that there's a movie about you and yet you're still
walking and talking and performing and acting. So it's not
It's like, you know, I hope someday when I'm long
dead and married, someone will do a lovely biography of me. Uh,
but you're still here. So is this weird at all
to be doing a film about yourself?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Totally weird?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
It's wonderful. I'm totally wonderful. When David asked me, I
asked to do a documentary about my work and my
philanthrop pilanthropic.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Work as well. I actually said, are you talking to me?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Because I was so concerned to make sure that the
documentary has universal appeal, which I hope it does. It's
really a documentary about sticking to something, following through, not
giving up, about resilience, and about the quest for excellence.
You know, there are different people have different visions in
(01:39):
their lives, and somewhere in my life and my older brother,
doctor David felt You, the vision in the Feltu household
was to be excellent, to give it your best shot,
to do the best you could, and the rest would
follow as long as you had good relationships with other people.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
So I was thrilled theres a documentary.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I have five grandchildren and a standing marriage of fifty years,
so I'm plead there's a piece of me that's going
to be around forever and before I'm under any any granite,
any granite, granite stone that says, hopefully that says I
was a decent human being.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I want to ask you, David, what inspired you Obviously
you're aware of Tova's long career in her philanthropic work.
But you what made you say it's time to make
this movie right now.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Well, it's always a question, you know, of destiny, when
you meet the right person at the right time, and
I felt that, you know, of course I was aware
of Hutova is She's a legend. She's an American treasurer,
and she's one of the major part of the evolution
of American theater.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
You know.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
So when you have these legends, you have to question them,
you have to learn from them, you have to celebrate them.
And this movie really is a celebration. So all I
needed was a yes, you know, the three magic letters.
And after I said, let's do it, let's film right
away because I was afridship with change on you know, so.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
This ight happened.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
But she's definitely a treasure and a pleasure to work
with in such an honor to do this movie diffinitely.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Well, obviously you're well respected because there are some big
names in this film. You've got Dustin Hoffman, You've got
Kristen Bell, who of course you work with on the
show that I referenced. Nobody wants this but Tobah. Throughout
the process, did you ever see something that David put
together and just went, oh, no, that's not right, that's wrong,
we have to fix that. How involved were you with
the actual process of making this film?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Well, I think David's footage was his footage, and he
obviously shot the whole thing. He asked if I had
anybody that I wanted to participate.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
The first shock was that I invited these people.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I played Dustin Hoffman's wife in the film Tuner by
Daniel Rohrer with Leo Woodall, who sy who really.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Carries the pictures magnificent?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
And I asked my college Dustin, and Kristen and Adam
and my friend Katie Kouric, and I think, you know
various scar Isaac and various other marvelous actors with whom
I have worked. I just didn't expect them to all say, yes,
we were I was thrilled. You know, Goldomeer says, Goldomeer
(04:14):
was the Prime Minister of Israel and I had the
honor of playing her on Broadway in a piece by
William Gibson, who also wrote The Miracle Worker, called Goldest Balcony,
and it became the longest running one woman play in
the history of Broadway in a hundred years. But anyway,
she says, some people love you, and some people love
you and show up.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Well, they showed up and it made all the difference.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
And then David, in his inimitable he probably could work
for the UN and finally bring about.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Middle East piece.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
David in his inimitable way and in his incredible what
they say in Germany's Kindo struga that he has manners
and decency. He ran parts of the film in front
of me, of course and said, you know, is everything okay?
And because he is multi lingual, French is his first language,
he speaks English.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And other languages.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
There were certain few parts, very few that didn't quite
mesh for the American, for the American dialect, let us say,
and he corrected them.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
It was very simple. It was a joyous process.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
And then I found out he checked with Dustin, he
checked with he checked with the major stars to make
sure that they were happy and happy about being represented.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
And the response.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Has been incredibly positive. And then David was completely in
charge of the editing. So if you enjoy this film
and you enjoy the cuts, indent, that's David Cerrera.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
But I want to add that it's also a very
big testament of when you see all these big names
that usually go through different lawyers, different publicists before they
say yes or anything, and here they were like Forva
coming to my house tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
You know, it was really really like that.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
And also when you know you're making a movie about
Tova felt you is who I considered one of the
biggest legend of Broadway. I mean, you have to take
her advices and her corrections, and you know, because this
is also how you grow as a director, is to
really get yourself from this extraordinary individual.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
So I would like to ask you, Tova, you've been
how long your careers what over? I don't want to
say too long, because of course, but it's like a
fifty year career. You've kind of done everything.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
How long is your career too long? Apparently?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Nice fellowship and acting where they played for my master's
degree in theater, and for me to have what's called
journeyman roles, very small roles in different plays. Actually eleven plays.
I had twenty two parts at eleven place. My roles
were so small and sirrah No alone, the play by
(07:01):
rostand I would come on as an actress, Exit come
On as a boy poet, Exit come On as a nun.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I had three of those in one show.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
In all events, I was at the Guthrie in Minneapolis,
Minnesota's right after Sarah Lawrence and became financially independent as
a fellowship student.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
The McKnight's three m paid for everything. I never asked
my parents for a dime.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
And then at the end of two seasons at the Guthrie,
they were putting together a Broadway musical of Sirraho and
I was asked to join that company and I would
make my Broadway debut in May of nineteen seventy three.
And before that I was really a spear carrier, and
I had fourteen lines in the Red Dress and understudied
leading ladies at the Guthrie. And within eighteen months of
(07:46):
that debut, unexpectedly and thrillingly, I was on the marquee
of the Eugeno Neil Theater, where Book of Mormon now plays,
in a play by yent called Yentl by Isaac Prishevsinger
would then win the Nobelt for in Literature and a
piece that Barbara Streuisan would then make into the movie Yent.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's my understanding that the author of that book preferred
your performance as Yental over Barbara Streisand's.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Is that accurate?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Mandy? You do your research.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I like to know things.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I like to know things, so you know, you know
you are a New York based actor, and I feel
like every New York based actor has appeared on Law
and Order. But I'm going to be honest, Tova, I
loved your character on Law and Order. I was very
invested in Law and Order back in the day, and
when your character came on, I knew you were going
to give him a fight, and I always thought to myself,
(08:40):
if I ever got in trouble, I'm calling her like
she is going to be She's not even a real lawyer,
but I feel like she'd be able to handle it.
What's the difference since when you started to how the
industry is now, how it is being a New York
actor at this stage in the game.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Oh, my dear, Mandy, it's a huge difference, both wonderful
and astonishing. We were basically expected to do everything, to sing,
to dance. I actually happen to speak five languages because
I have wonderful parents and had a wonderful education. But
everything I've played everything from Catherine Happened to Three Queens
of Henry the Eighth and only lately. And this system
(09:19):
includes people of color. It includes my beloved Adam Brody,
who plays my son. Within the last ten years, silo
ing has.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Begune and silo ing is.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
If you see Atova felt you you figure, well, she's Orthodox,
she's Israeli and she's European.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I am neither Orthodox. I'm a pro shudo.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Eating jewsh And if you don't believe me, just watch
nobody wants us. I am not Orthodox, and I'm family
has been in this country from Vienna and from Germany
and Russia and England for one hundred and twenty five years.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
We arrived in nineteen oh one.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
So I have been playing tremendous Jewish matriarchs for the
last really, I would say for the last decade, and
not all the time, but eighty percent of the time.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And I had a much wider splay order for my work.
I was much more of a Chinese menu in the
old days.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
However, I have been invited to play doctor Ruth west Timer.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Doctor luthust Timer is so optimistic.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Even the NFFL sentences went up, A doctor with the
sex therapist Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and goldenme ear so when you're.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Asked to do those three things. Plus I've played Leona Helmsey,
a billionaire, a real.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Estate a very controversial real estate figure who was a
very big rival of Donald Trump's back in the sixties
and the seventies. In all events, the menu for the
matriarchs I've been asked to play ain't been bad. You know,
it ain't been bad. And I'm happy to represent. I mean,
I'm an American like you. I love my country. I
(10:57):
love my country. But if I I need to defend
my particular birthright, let us say, with my particular religious
what was the religion I was born into. It's a
pleasure to do so, particularly in this troubled world.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I have to tell you, I was talking to my
husband about how excited I was to interview you today,
and he said I was telling him about nobody wants
this because I watched it on a plane to Japan
season one, and then as soon as season two came out,
I watched I binge watched the whole thing, and the
thing I told him that.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I loved about that show.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I said, you've got to know about the Sharkuterie Tray arc,
Like the whole arc of the story.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
There was so much told.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And the fact that you just called yourself for Proshuido
eating ju just really warms my heart to know, because
that whole entire segment or that episode with that was
so wildly entertaining. David, I want to ask you one
more question before we go, and that's simple. You went
in as director and producer. Did you have a vision
of what you wanted to show people about Toba felt
(12:00):
you when you started this and what was that vision?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
If you had it, well.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
You're absolutely right. Well, we say in your question is
the answer, because if you have a vision of the movie,
that means you can see the movie before. And that's
what I love about documentaries is that it's the most
human theatrical experience because you cannot do two takes of it.
If you have your filming that as someone who goes
in front of the grave of his parents and says
(12:28):
to the grave everything he had in his mind, you
cannot do two takes of it, you know. So I
love the spontaneity that we can find in it. So
basically I plunge myself into her world, into her story,
and the world of Toba is one of the most
beautiful world ever and you want to cherish it. And yeah,
(12:50):
and her story, you know, is full of lessons and
that you can succeed your life, not just your career,
but succeed your life and the and that that's.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
What she brings.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
She brings joy around the world. And she's the definition
of work ethaches and exactly like you, my dear.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Mandy, may I say before you go, sure we Tova
debuts today at five point thirty the drink starts and
six thirty the dinner starts at three four sixty six
Wildcat Trail and Crestibute three four sixty six Wildcat Trail
in Christabe and one of the most exquisite mountain homes
I've ever been in in my entire life, which has
(13:32):
its own venue attached to its land. So if I'm
enjoy the fire pit and the glory of this home
and come celebrate Tova with us.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Well, I can't wait to see it, and I hope
it's on a streaming platform very very soon. I'm in Denver, obviously,
can't make it a crust of but tonight Buttovah Felt You.
Thank you so much. When is the next season and
nobody wants this is coming out? You better tell me

a stern email.

are hoping to start season four. You to get the

of February. We start filming it and it will be
done sometime in Maju.

Tovah Felt You, is also a delight. Thank you both
so much for being here today, and best of luck.

Begune and silo ing is.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
If you see Atova felt you you figure, well, she's Orthodox,
she's Israeli and she's European.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I am neither Orthodox. I'm a pro shudo.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Eating jewsh And if you don't believe me, just watch
nobody wants us. I am not Orthodox, and I'm family
has been in this country from Vienna and from Germany
and Russia and England for one hundred and twenty five years.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
We arrived in nineteen oh one.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
So I have been playing tremendous Jewish matriarchs for the
last really, I would say for the last decade, and
not all the time, but eighty percent of the time.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And I had a much wider splay order for my work.
I was much more of a Chinese menu in the
old days.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
However, I have been invited to play doctor Ruth west Timer.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Doctor luthust Timer is so optimistic.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Even the NFFL sentences went up, A doctor with the
sex therapist Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and goldenme ear so when you're.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Asked to do those three things. Plus I've played Leona Helmsey,
a billionaire, a real.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Estate a very controversial real estate figure who was a
very big rival of Donald Trump's back in the sixties
and the seventies. In all events, the menu for the
matriarchs I've been asked to play ain't been bad. You know,
it ain't been bad. And I'm happy to represent. I mean,
I'm an American like you. I love my country. I
(10:57):
love my country. But if I I need to defend
my particular birthright, let us say, with my particular religious
what was the religion I was born into. It's a
pleasure to do so, particularly in this troubled world.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I have to tell you, I was talking to my
husband about how excited I was to interview you today,
and he said I was telling him about nobody wants
this because I watched it on a plane to Japan
season one, and then as soon as season two came out,
I watched I binge watched the whole thing, and the
thing I told him that.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I loved about that show.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I said, you've got to know about the Sharkuterie Tray arc,
Like the whole arc of the story.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
There was so much told.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And the fact that you just called yourself for Proshuido
eating ju just really warms my heart to know, because
that whole entire segment or that episode with that was
so wildly entertaining. David, I want to ask you one
more question before we go, and that's simple. You went
in as director and producer. Did you have a vision
of what you wanted to show people about Toba felt
(12:00):
you when you started this and what was that vision?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
If you had it, well.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
You're absolutely right. Well, we say in your question is
the answer, because if you have a vision of the movie,
that means you can see the movie before. And that's
what I love about documentaries is that it's the most
human theatrical experience because you cannot do two takes of it.
If you have your filming that as someone who goes
in front of the grave of his parents and says
(12:28):
to the grave everything he had in his mind, you
cannot do two takes of it, you know. So I
love the spontaneity that we can find in it. So
basically I plunge myself into her world, into her story,
and the world of Toba is one of the most
beautiful world ever and you want to cherish it. And yeah,
(12:50):
and her story, you know, is full of lessons and
that you can succeed your life, not just your career,
but succeed your life and the and that that's.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
What she brings.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
She brings joy around the world. And she's the definition
of work ethaches and exactly like you, my dear.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Mandy, may I say before you go, sure we Tova
debuts today at five point thirty the drink starts and
six thirty the dinner starts at three four sixty six
Wildcat Trail and Crestibute three four sixty six Wildcat Trail
in Christabe and one of the most exquisite mountain homes
I've ever been in in my entire life, which has
(13:32):
its own venue attached to its land. So if I'm
enjoy the fire pit and the glory of this home
and come celebrate Tova with us.
Speaker 1 (13:41):

it's on a streaming platform very very soon. I'm in Denver, obviously,

Tovah Felt You, is also a delight. Thank you both
