WEBVTT 00:00.211 --> 00:02.893 [SPEAKER_04]: From Sinatra, Swing to Brando Stage. 00:04.594 --> 00:07.596 [SPEAKER_04]: Maryland's Grace to JFK's age. 00:08.736 --> 00:12.639 [SPEAKER_04]: It's Johnny Rousseau, Hollywood Zone. 00:13.219 --> 00:17.381 [SPEAKER_04]: Virginia Raymond's secrets are shown. 00:17.682 --> 00:25.066 [SPEAKER_04]: Hollywood Godfather. 00:26.987 --> 00:27.908 [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome everybody. 00:28.860 --> 00:31.821 [SPEAKER_02]: It's time for another Hollywood Godfather podcast. 00:32.021 --> 00:36.243 [SPEAKER_02]: I want to introduce my co-host, obviously, Jeannie Raymond. 00:37.424 --> 00:38.664 [SPEAKER_02]: Hello, hello. 00:39.425 --> 00:48.669 [SPEAKER_02]: And tonight, we're doing this show as a special show in respect to a lady I met on the set of the Godfather. 00:49.149 --> 00:57.313 [SPEAKER_02]: As we all know, probably by now, anybody listen to this show unless you're living under a rock, Diane Keaton past this weekend. 00:58.488 --> 01:04.553 [SPEAKER_02]: And she was probably one of the first movie stars that I met, Major Movie stars. 01:05.554 --> 01:07.276 [SPEAKER_02]: And we're gonna get into that. 01:08.097 --> 01:20.387 [SPEAKER_02]: And it's a serious show, but I have to say one thing, she deserves all the accolades you're gonna hear about her and how nice she was. 01:21.168 --> 01:25.452 [SPEAKER_02]: And when on our relationship and friendship, we're on for years and years and years. 01:26.402 --> 01:37.367 [SPEAKER_02]: So with no other further to do, it's something that's basically at a respect only because she deserves it. 01:38.488 --> 01:51.693 [SPEAKER_02]: And I know Jeannie has a lot of input on this also, but for you who don't know, prior to the Godfather, she won best actress in 1978 for Annie Hall. 01:56.323 --> 02:02.628 [SPEAKER_02]: was directed by Woody Allen, not a particularly good person. 02:02.708 --> 02:03.828 [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't like him at all. 02:04.349 --> 02:10.573 [SPEAKER_02]: When I knew he was fudgein' around with his stepdaughter, or whoever she, that little girl was. 02:11.274 --> 02:19.019 [SPEAKER_02]: But she approached, we were in rehearsal for a week of her that before, and the whole cast was there. 02:20.963 --> 02:28.010 [SPEAKER_02]: And we started talking on a break one time, Diane and I. And she said, this is really your first film. 02:28.090 --> 02:30.173 [SPEAKER_02]: I said, yeah, should how'd you get the pork? 02:30.913 --> 02:32.295 [SPEAKER_02]: I said, well, it's a long story. 02:32.635 --> 02:41.705 [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, with that said, she said, if I could be of any help to you during the shooting, please, 02:42.878 --> 02:48.921 [SPEAKER_02]: And I thought that was really nice of her, because the only a bigger actor on the set was Maulim Brando. 02:49.622 --> 02:51.743 [SPEAKER_02]: I knew Richie Kanti, I knew those guys. 02:52.183 --> 02:59.487 [SPEAKER_02]: But even Pacino, he did one thing, panic and needle pop, James Con just did Brian Song. 03:00.248 --> 03:04.670 [SPEAKER_02]: But this is a girl who, credibly, won an Oscar. 03:06.051 --> 03:07.432 [SPEAKER_02]: And she was being so nice. 03:08.773 --> 03:18.538 [SPEAKER_02]: And you know, as time went on, the stories get crazy, but what an opportunity to share them because she was all a part of it. 03:19.718 --> 03:33.345 [SPEAKER_02]: And you know, meet being on the Godfather, my first film, I think everybody knows that by now, but to have somebody like her, where I could actually answer a question and she would tell me and give me her advice. 03:34.518 --> 03:46.067 [SPEAKER_02]: but with that said, we were all in rehearsal for five days, we were all supposed to exaggerate on mannerisms so the non-Achians can become a tyrant. 03:46.428 --> 03:50.551 [SPEAKER_02]: She didn't have to become a tyrant because she's playing an Irish girl in the movie, so it's good. 03:51.492 --> 03:58.837 [SPEAKER_02]: But it's even with, you know, Brando, who approached me at the rehearsals, 03:59.780 --> 04:05.061 [SPEAKER_02]: because I have to say, all of these people, including Diane Keaton, hate to say it. 04:05.542 --> 04:06.802 [SPEAKER_02]: But they're so casual. 04:06.822 --> 04:09.122 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm like, I got it. 04:09.162 --> 04:15.804 [SPEAKER_02]: Love the movie stars from the 30s and the 40s, and they were all made up, and even the men were wore suits. 04:16.564 --> 04:17.845 [SPEAKER_02]: Nobody had a suit on, but me. 04:17.865 --> 04:22.786 [SPEAKER_02]: I was wearing Brioni's every day to the set, to the first of even. 04:24.346 --> 04:25.647 [SPEAKER_02]: And Brando approached me, 04:26.975 --> 04:34.239 [SPEAKER_02]: not because of the call, or because he was interested in me, he was interested in my Chinese Chick chauffeur. 04:37.722 --> 04:45.526 [SPEAKER_02]: And that became another whole fiasco that turned into a great time. 04:45.546 --> 04:53.031 [SPEAKER_02]: And the interesting thing that the first scene that we shot in the Godfather was my wedding scene. 04:54.023 --> 04:54.463 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow. 04:54.783 --> 05:02.988 [SPEAKER_02]: So it was five days that I into mangled with Diane Keaton, because she was introduced at my wedding. 05:03.408 --> 05:06.429 [SPEAKER_02]: Michael brought her to the wedding as his date. 05:07.490 --> 05:17.055 [SPEAKER_02]: And there's a great scene when she's seen Luka Brazzi, played by Lady Montana, talking to himself, rehearsing his lines. 05:17.715 --> 05:20.937 [SPEAKER_02]: But unbeknownst to her, he was really rehearsing his lines. 05:21.773 --> 05:25.535 [SPEAKER_02]: But he's doing it, and she's doing her scene. 05:26.775 --> 05:30.317 [SPEAKER_02]: And she says, Michael, who's that guy talking to himself? 05:31.678 --> 05:36.400 [SPEAKER_02]: Because he's this big brute, because then Francis used that whole scene. 05:36.680 --> 05:38.401 [SPEAKER_02]: That wasn't even written in the movie. 05:39.422 --> 05:39.802 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow. 05:40.522 --> 05:47.726 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, because he was really rehearsing it and not realizing when they were doing their lines you shouldn't be talking. 05:49.420 --> 05:53.483 [SPEAKER_02]: So Francis was in the ingenuity, left it in. 05:55.705 --> 06:02.490 [SPEAKER_02]: So Michael said, you know, he's a good friend of my father's, a lot of respect, and she was concerned. 06:03.190 --> 06:07.393 [SPEAKER_02]: And she said, he said to her, okay, this is not my life, that's my father. 06:08.094 --> 06:09.295 [SPEAKER_02]: He'll give you the willier, oh. 06:10.336 --> 06:28.326 [SPEAKER_02]: But when you saw thinking about, you know, the caliber of people, the only other major actor that I know at that time was Richard Conti, who played Barzini, and I had great scenes with him, not even got caught out, because the movie was getting too long. 06:28.947 --> 06:38.512 [SPEAKER_02]: But Richard Conti was Barzini, so I would have to say, after Maul and Brando, Diane Keaton was the most important actor 06:40.822 --> 06:42.644 [SPEAKER_02]: and she was the nicest person. 06:43.764 --> 06:50.410 [SPEAKER_02]: And then it got chaotic with us because Brando wasn't like I said interested in me or anything else. 06:50.750 --> 06:58.317 [SPEAKER_02]: And we were all staying at the Park Lane Hotel right on 59th Street in Central Park. 06:59.197 --> 07:00.959 [SPEAKER_02]: And I had a popman, I have a house here. 07:01.439 --> 07:04.482 [SPEAKER_02]: But they had me living from Vegas. 07:05.442 --> 07:08.185 [SPEAKER_02]: So they got me a room, I used to go there every day. 07:10.978 --> 07:16.642 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, we had hundreds of people waiting outside to meet the cast and me with my ego. 07:16.702 --> 07:33.293 [SPEAKER_02]: I want to be one of those people who were there and standing at attention and a little well-looked uniform and the second day, Brando approached me and he said, 07:35.164 --> 07:36.984 [SPEAKER_02]: She couldn't drive you to work every day. 07:37.004 --> 07:38.725 [SPEAKER_02]: I said, yes, I'm going to drive her. 07:39.425 --> 07:41.485 [SPEAKER_02]: She's with you mind picking me up. 07:42.065 --> 07:44.506 [SPEAKER_02]: This is my bread now. 07:45.326 --> 07:45.866 [SPEAKER_00]: I love it. 07:46.186 --> 07:48.867 [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm saying, how can I mind picking you up, you crazy? 07:49.007 --> 07:49.687 [SPEAKER_02]: Heading, yeah. 07:50.427 --> 07:52.387 [SPEAKER_02]: So we said, I'm staying at the Elisay. 07:52.487 --> 07:53.207 [SPEAKER_02]: I said, I know that. 07:53.827 --> 07:54.708 [SPEAKER_02]: Is how do you know that? 07:54.828 --> 07:56.448 [SPEAKER_02]: I said, I checked you out. 07:57.588 --> 08:01.849 [SPEAKER_02]: You like the monkey bar downstairs, and you drink comma C.A. 08:03.773 --> 08:09.757 [SPEAKER_02]: This is, yeah, I saw I loved the monkey ball, but I knew you were staying there because they were all excited. 08:09.817 --> 08:15.140 [SPEAKER_02]: Knowing you were coming a week ago when I was over there telling me, I felt excited. 08:15.721 --> 08:24.266 [SPEAKER_02]: So this morning, while my driver was coming to pick me up, I said, go to the monkey ball. 08:24.906 --> 08:27.248 [SPEAKER_02]: I bought a bottle of coaxia that he likes. 08:28.383 --> 08:36.245 [SPEAKER_02]: Bring our, because I had, I had ceramic, interesting tube cups and coffee cups and all that. 08:36.945 --> 08:40.807 [SPEAKER_02]: I said, make sure you get it just before you pick me up, so it's hot. 08:41.807 --> 08:56.391 [SPEAKER_02]: And the, and the back of, I don't know how many of audience has been in the back of a Rolls Royce or, or, or, or Bentley, they have surveyed trays on the hog and he dropped down and she had linen on it with the cup and the Colosseum, and the, and in the car. 08:57.655 --> 09:20.710 [SPEAKER_02]: He couldn't believe it, and it gets funny because we're drinking, you know, he's drinking his coffee in Calacier, and we're going down Park Avenue, and now anybody that knows the configuration of New York City, you're going down Park Avenue towards the tunnel to get to Brooklyn to get to Staten Island. 09:23.252 --> 09:24.473 [SPEAKER_02]: There were all these red lights. 09:26.031 --> 09:32.914 [SPEAKER_02]: And after two or three red lights, we saw all the teams in the station wagons coming down alongside of us. 09:34.455 --> 09:47.281 [SPEAKER_02]: And at the next red light, in the back of the station wagon, two of the windows are rolled down in Jimmy Khan and Robert DeValt have their asses hanging out the window. 09:48.461 --> 09:49.562 [SPEAKER_02]: They were moaning us. 09:50.790 --> 09:53.753 [SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't leave, and I'm saying to myself, this is what goes on. 09:53.793 --> 09:57.176 [SPEAKER_02]: This is a major motion-ficked, these people are idiots. 09:57.916 --> 10:09.206 [SPEAKER_02]: So when we got to the set finally, they created a moaning contest who could ever moan the most people in a crowd, wins. 10:11.268 --> 10:12.829 [SPEAKER_02]: And Maul and Brando won. 10:14.170 --> 10:15.732 [SPEAKER_02]: How he won, you won't believe. 10:16.882 --> 10:26.424 [SPEAKER_02]: If everybody remembers the scene, it was a wedding picture we were going to take, and then Mollon looks and says, where's Michael, and he's getting get there yet. 10:26.484 --> 10:29.744 [SPEAKER_02]: He's, you know, wait till Michael comes, and they cancel the shot. 10:30.685 --> 10:39.926 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, in that particular day, when Michael comes and K is there, he calls her up to get into the picture also. 10:42.807 --> 10:43.687 [SPEAKER_02]: He looks around. 10:44.767 --> 10:46.148 [SPEAKER_02]: And he drops his pants. 10:46.808 --> 10:49.690 [SPEAKER_02]: There was 700 people there, little kids. 10:50.170 --> 10:54.593 [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm saying to myself, what are they thinking, looking at the old man's fat ass? 10:55.413 --> 11:02.237 [SPEAKER_02]: That's what goes on on these, you know, it's a multi-million dollar film, but they lighten it up every day. 11:02.538 --> 11:06.960 [SPEAKER_02]: And ball and brand know because there's a 700 hundred people, obviously, won the ball contest. 11:07.501 --> 11:09.342 [SPEAKER_00]: What the heck? 11:10.503 --> 11:12.524 [SPEAKER_00]: It is so funny to hear. 11:12.544 --> 11:19.406 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean if it was in today's world, there'd be pictures of it all over Instagram and everything else. 11:19.966 --> 11:24.087 [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, thank God we didn't have everybody with a camera there. 11:24.327 --> 11:25.208 [SPEAKER_00]: Right, right. 11:25.468 --> 11:26.388 [SPEAKER_00]: I just laugh at that. 11:26.448 --> 11:30.349 [SPEAKER_00]: They can, oh, it's a totally different day, but how funny is that? 11:30.769 --> 11:35.211 [SPEAKER_00]: And you wonder if somewhere somehow somebody had that on film, you know? 11:35.996 --> 11:37.197 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, nobody added. 11:37.438 --> 11:38.399 [SPEAKER_02]: We were to sort by now. 11:38.579 --> 11:39.800 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, well, that's true. 11:40.241 --> 11:42.022 [SPEAKER_02]: That's very, I don't think we're at a ball at all. 11:42.483 --> 11:45.266 [SPEAKER_00]: I have a son that's a moaning always. 11:45.526 --> 11:49.190 [SPEAKER_00]: He's not not so much anymore, because people don't find it funny anymore. 11:49.831 --> 11:54.115 [SPEAKER_00]: But I've never moaned anyone in my life, but I have a son in fact someone else. 11:54.135 --> 11:55.477 [SPEAKER_02]: I could only imagine if you did. 11:56.749 --> 12:00.234 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there are 50 cars following your home. 12:01.115 --> 12:02.897 [SPEAKER_02]: I can't even believe you would say that. 12:02.917 --> 12:05.821 [SPEAKER_00]: You're so crazy, I love you. 12:06.001 --> 12:10.928 [SPEAKER_00]: My son, we went to Idaho one time and my mom taught my son. 12:12.050 --> 12:13.892 [SPEAKER_00]: Go up there to the hotel room. 12:13.932 --> 12:15.634 [SPEAKER_00]: We were going for vacation. 12:15.694 --> 12:21.480 [SPEAKER_00]: Go up into the room and waived to me out the window so we know where our room is. 12:21.820 --> 12:31.650 [SPEAKER_00]: So if you were in a slater and he was probably about an old ten and a few minutes later we're looking and looking and waiting to see his little face waving out the window. 12:32.402 --> 12:57.847 [SPEAKER_00]: guess what we got is what hey oh no he was like ten years old there's a maybe twelve but he was always moon and somebody but that's a big thing in Utah well nice moment people that's right but no years ago they it changed you can't be moon and now are you're in big trouble oh yeah hello yeah it's called indecent exposure 13:01.548 --> 13:09.471 [SPEAKER_00]: I remember back when my sister worked at a drug store and they had to take down the picture, remember the copper tone baby? 13:09.491 --> 13:10.532 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, yeah. 13:10.672 --> 13:17.195 [SPEAKER_00]: And the little dog bitters bikini bottoms and it showed a little bit of her button, her son Tan had to take those down. 13:18.175 --> 13:22.657 [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, that you couldn't, you couldn't show that anymore. 13:23.257 --> 13:24.658 [SPEAKER_00]: But oh, that's hilarious. 13:24.918 --> 13:26.159 [SPEAKER_00]: Martin Brando, he wasn't 13:30.270 --> 13:31.910 [SPEAKER_02]: by he would not mend at the end. 13:31.950 --> 13:33.131 [SPEAKER_02]: He would got too, so big. 13:33.451 --> 13:35.191 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you wouldn't want it to see that move. 13:35.871 --> 13:38.632 [SPEAKER_02]: No, but even then, I mean, he was 48 only. 13:39.192 --> 13:46.694 [SPEAKER_02]: And it took Rick Smith as make-up guy three or four hours to turn him into Wall and Breddo. 13:47.194 --> 13:47.534 [SPEAKER_01]: Right. 13:47.714 --> 13:53.536 [SPEAKER_02]: Was a big advantage for me, because that's when he'd call me in to run my lines of my scenes. 13:54.256 --> 13:55.856 [SPEAKER_02]: He ran every scene with me. 13:56.576 --> 13:58.577 [SPEAKER_02]: He was on the set when he didn't have to be. 14:00.503 --> 14:01.524 [SPEAKER_00]: Isn't that incredible? 14:01.624 --> 14:03.185 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't know. 14:03.765 --> 14:19.077 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, obviously you get to say, hey, you've been trained by the best Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, but I wonder if he was, I didn't you tell me that you, they told the, everybody don't talk to him. 14:20.173 --> 14:31.999 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know, the director said, especially for the Thespians, you know, like, you know, James calling him, but you know, they studied with Stella Adler all the best, you know. 14:32.499 --> 14:35.480 [SPEAKER_02]: But it was a thing where why he did it. 14:35.941 --> 14:37.221 [SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't because he liked me. 14:38.142 --> 14:40.243 [SPEAKER_02]: He wanted this movie to be a masterpiece. 14:40.923 --> 14:42.644 [SPEAKER_02]: He didn't understand how I got the part. 14:42.664 --> 14:43.224 [SPEAKER_02]: Right. 14:43.304 --> 14:47.046 [SPEAKER_02]: And he went to France's in France and said, I can't even tell you, I got the part. 14:47.106 --> 14:48.587 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I know he's playing Callow. 14:49.457 --> 14:52.619 [SPEAKER_02]: There's nobody want to bring up the Joe Colombo, a gangster. 14:53.079 --> 14:53.979 [SPEAKER_02]: Galaport. 14:55.200 --> 14:56.941 [SPEAKER_00]: He just here don't ask questions. 14:57.401 --> 15:01.082 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but he is such a perfectionist. 15:02.103 --> 15:07.085 [SPEAKER_02]: He realized, because he was the one that told Copa in front of me. 15:08.626 --> 15:10.507 [SPEAKER_02]: This guy's got to be a great actor. 15:11.087 --> 15:12.448 [SPEAKER_02]: And he broke down the whole script. 15:12.508 --> 15:13.628 [SPEAKER_02]: I never broke down the script. 15:13.688 --> 15:14.169 [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't give it. 15:14.429 --> 15:15.289 [SPEAKER_02]: Care about the movie. 15:15.349 --> 15:15.829 [SPEAKER_02]: I was there. 15:15.849 --> 15:15.929 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 15:17.952 --> 15:21.733 [SPEAKER_02]: 25 years old were beyond his suits and just wanted to be in the movie. 15:22.213 --> 15:24.313 [SPEAKER_02]: The book was already in its fifth printing. 15:25.514 --> 15:27.314 [SPEAKER_02]: The world is ready for the movie. 15:27.914 --> 15:32.935 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, just think about out of all of the movies you could have landed in. 15:33.995 --> 15:37.976 [SPEAKER_00]: For years, when you're saying, hey, I want to be in this movie. 15:39.596 --> 15:42.137 [SPEAKER_00]: Did you know what the movie was? 15:42.317 --> 15:44.197 [SPEAKER_00]: Was it like you wanted to be in a movie? 15:48.158 --> 15:49.359 [SPEAKER_02]: Muller, what happened to me? 15:49.459 --> 15:50.960 [SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to be in the Godfather. 15:51.521 --> 15:52.041 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay. 15:52.061 --> 15:54.182 [SPEAKER_02]: The book was already in its fifth print. 15:55.363 --> 15:57.765 [SPEAKER_02]: The world was talking about the movie already. 15:58.366 --> 15:58.806 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 15:59.426 --> 16:10.594 [SPEAKER_02]: And then one time they went down, which I happened, and oh, because of my neighborhood, they went down to little Italy, mulberry street, to scout locations. 16:12.336 --> 16:13.957 [SPEAKER_02]: And nobody even knew they were down there. 16:15.047 --> 16:41.935 [SPEAKER_02]: But one thing you cannot do on Mulberry Street, they brought a cinema, a cinema, a van, a truck we don't normally see, and in the window was the placard, say, Godfather, well they went to have lunch when they came out, the van was gone, they had like a hundred thousand dollars worth of film equipment and all that, they stole it. 16:43.290 --> 16:48.474 [SPEAKER_02]: and a couple of the guys who were involved with it were outside the restaurant they were coming out of Los Angeles. 16:48.534 --> 16:49.515 [SPEAKER_02]: I know the restaurant well. 16:50.716 --> 16:53.678 [SPEAKER_02]: And they were looking up a data and they said, you look for the event. 16:55.180 --> 16:56.100 [SPEAKER_02]: They said, yeah, why? 16:56.801 --> 16:58.382 [SPEAKER_02]: Is you don't come to our block? 16:59.403 --> 17:02.666 [SPEAKER_02]: Park anything on our block without a permission. 17:03.386 --> 17:05.308 [SPEAKER_02]: Now they're making the movie the Godfather. 17:05.588 --> 17:06.589 [SPEAKER_02]: These were real God. 17:09.932 --> 17:16.917 [SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, you can't even make this stuff that's what this movie is so crazy and where it got to me and the authenticity of it. 17:17.798 --> 17:23.682 [SPEAKER_02]: So fortunately, I knew most of the people and Joe Colombo was already involved. 17:25.023 --> 17:35.391 [SPEAKER_02]: So we smooth out everything and everybody was happy because nobody, just a small thing like what I'm about to tell you is crazy. 17:36.312 --> 17:37.592 [SPEAKER_02]: How do you shoot a movie? 17:38.497 --> 17:42.958 [SPEAKER_02]: in the 40s and everybody had air conditioners in the windows. 17:44.698 --> 17:46.119 [SPEAKER_02]: They didn't have air conditioners. 17:47.039 --> 17:47.779 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, wow. 17:48.919 --> 17:56.441 [SPEAKER_02]: So the, the, you know, the location's guy went and ran into all the doorbells and said, you have to take that in. 17:56.461 --> 17:58.722 [SPEAKER_02]: Because we ain't taking nothing in. 18:00.502 --> 18:01.442 [SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna get paid. 18:02.522 --> 18:04.443 [SPEAKER_02]: They had to come up on a whole budget. 18:05.359 --> 18:07.521 [SPEAKER_02]: of X amount of dollars, I don't know what it was. 18:07.541 --> 18:12.004 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what they got $50 or $100, but they all got paid. 18:12.044 --> 18:13.985 [SPEAKER_02]: They shut them down, it's terrible. 18:14.325 --> 18:18.608 [SPEAKER_02]: They were talking about them all fast, but it was so crazy. 18:19.108 --> 18:20.089 [SPEAKER_00]: That is crazy. 18:20.950 --> 18:24.332 [SPEAKER_00]: They got a lesson on how things really work. 18:25.012 --> 18:25.833 [SPEAKER_00]: That's wild. 18:26.393 --> 18:27.934 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's do a quick commercial. 18:28.415 --> 18:30.776 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, cause now I want to concentrate just on Diane. 18:30.896 --> 18:31.917 [SPEAKER_00]: On Diane, sure. 18:32.821 --> 18:44.991 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, well, we don't have much to say, fortunately, we have the Chilla left and that's October 24, 25, 26th, that's precipity, New Jersey, don't miss it. 18:45.432 --> 18:46.813 [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody's gonna be there again. 18:47.414 --> 18:52.698 [SPEAKER_02]: The Chilla and then have a lot of smaller venues that you could just go to my website and find me at. 18:53.519 --> 18:59.524 [SPEAKER_02]: And then I'm off to Europe, what shall I be in Dublin and England and 19:00.122 --> 19:11.898 [SPEAKER_02]: all of that and then I have a surprise that I'll be announcing soon where I'll be on an island and you're invited for Valentine's Day. 19:13.402 --> 19:16.303 [SPEAKER_02]: And so we have some good things coming up. 19:16.903 --> 19:20.564 [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, my book is coming out, November 18th. 19:21.044 --> 19:23.905 [SPEAKER_02]: I got to thank Barnes and Noble and Amazon. 19:24.305 --> 19:27.706 [SPEAKER_02]: They did such a huge pre-stale on this book. 19:28.166 --> 19:29.987 [SPEAKER_02]: It's probably coming out as a bestseller. 19:30.287 --> 19:31.207 [SPEAKER_02]: The day comes out. 19:32.548 --> 19:33.528 [SPEAKER_02]: So with that said, 19:34.297 --> 19:56.218 [SPEAKER_02]: let's dedicate the time to all the things that she's done and I stayed friends with a for a long time which I want to get into and we're back and the show is dedicated to Diane Keaton in her memory and she's helped a lot of people even the two children that she adopted. 19:56.338 --> 19:58.280 [SPEAKER_02]: I think I had something to do with that also. 19:59.273 --> 20:02.494 [SPEAKER_02]: because we stayed friends after the shooting in the movie. 20:03.215 --> 20:06.576 [SPEAKER_02]: During the movie, Huron, I, we had no, in a racking scenes or anything. 20:07.156 --> 20:10.317 [SPEAKER_02]: Other than seeing what, by wedding, I didn't see her again. 20:11.598 --> 20:23.883 [SPEAKER_02]: And then, all the things with Michael, and when we went to the mattresses, and she couldn't even come to the house, there's a great scene where her and Tom Hagen in the driveway, 20:24.521 --> 20:42.103 [SPEAKER_02]: where she was trying to get a note, because Michael already left the country, and she wanted to know where he was, and I loved that scene, because she said, I can't tell you where he is, goes then, the FBI will know that I know, and they put her in a car. 20:43.333 --> 20:47.136 [SPEAKER_02]: But Diane Keaton, as I said, was so helpful to me. 20:47.716 --> 20:49.838 [SPEAKER_02]: And then later on, we became friends. 20:50.398 --> 20:56.683 [SPEAKER_02]: And I used to meet her at the Uppu style where I held court on Fridays. 20:56.703 --> 21:01.006 [SPEAKER_02]: It's on the corner in Beverly Hills of Canna Drive. 21:01.447 --> 21:02.668 [SPEAKER_02]: And I lived right at the block. 21:03.208 --> 21:07.151 [SPEAKER_02]: I'd go down there and start with a table of four or six on Fridays. 21:07.571 --> 21:10.333 [SPEAKER_02]: And by five o'clock, I had like half the sidewalk. 21:13.340 --> 21:14.821 [SPEAKER_02]: and just talk whatever. 21:15.421 --> 21:26.569 [SPEAKER_02]: And she was always amused by the women that came by and they all knew her, obviously, you know, big star kept, and kept sarring at things. 21:27.510 --> 21:27.910 [SPEAKER_02]: Right. 21:29.271 --> 21:32.814 [SPEAKER_02]: We would sit and talk and she's never been married. 21:32.894 --> 21:37.397 [SPEAKER_02]: And at that time, you know, we found out, I don't know if you saw, 21:38.892 --> 21:49.597 [SPEAKER_02]: And if you could still read it probably, it was in the New York Times that Pachino came clean while he was dating her. 21:49.617 --> 21:53.338 [SPEAKER_02]: And that was his first second movie was the Godfather. 21:53.999 --> 21:56.420 [SPEAKER_02]: She already won an Oscar already a big star. 21:57.320 --> 21:58.761 [SPEAKER_02]: He wanted to marry her. 22:00.061 --> 22:03.883 [SPEAKER_02]: But he felt that, you know, he wasn't good enough. 22:04.643 --> 22:07.545 [SPEAKER_02]: And now he just said that after all these years. 22:09.392 --> 22:27.832 [SPEAKER_02]: Wow, that's the kind of that's kind of impression she gave you as you such a remarkable person and we talked numerous times about marriage and how is it and she was talking around a right guy already married 10 people and kids. 22:27.852 --> 22:28.833 [SPEAKER_02]: She always wanted kids. 22:29.868 --> 22:32.430 [SPEAKER_02]: And as we all know, she waited a later on in life. 22:33.191 --> 22:35.293 [SPEAKER_02]: And she adopted the two kids she has. 22:35.754 --> 22:38.456 [SPEAKER_02]: She has a girl now, 26, who's married. 22:38.937 --> 22:42.119 [SPEAKER_02]: And a son who's, don't want to be in the radar. 22:42.660 --> 22:43.541 [SPEAKER_02]: He's like 18, 19. 22:44.702 --> 22:50.247 [SPEAKER_02]: But she adopted them and the less 20 years of a life. 22:50.988 --> 22:53.210 [SPEAKER_00]: And she was 50 years old. 22:53.590 --> 22:53.870 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 22:54.491 --> 22:55.332 [SPEAKER_00]: That's why I'll 22:56.508 --> 23:01.513 [SPEAKER_02]: But she wanted to experience it and she first wanted to do it with the mate. 23:02.634 --> 23:06.077 [SPEAKER_02]: And again, I don't know whether she wanted a female mate or a male mate. 23:06.477 --> 23:07.598 [SPEAKER_02]: I never got into that. 23:07.998 --> 23:11.962 [SPEAKER_02]: I always had a suspicion because I never served with any. 23:12.042 --> 23:18.288 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, she went with Warren Bay, but these people all act as while she was making movies with them. 23:19.312 --> 23:21.673 [SPEAKER_02]: Hargom Woody Allen, I can never figure out. 23:22.174 --> 23:23.734 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it looks like a cockroach now. 23:23.754 --> 23:24.635 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, he dated her? 23:25.215 --> 23:27.136 [SPEAKER_02]: She dated her after, oh, yeah. 23:27.556 --> 23:28.017 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, gross. 23:28.457 --> 23:28.757 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 23:29.077 --> 23:30.198 [SPEAKER_02]: Or during the movie, no. 23:30.278 --> 23:32.079 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's what the rumor was. 23:32.339 --> 23:36.221 [SPEAKER_02]: But again, you don't know what Hollywood's saying through or not true. 23:37.181 --> 23:39.222 [SPEAKER_02]: I was hoping it wasn't true, but, you know. 23:39.823 --> 23:40.103 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 23:40.723 --> 23:43.204 [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he's much, I was a great personality. 23:44.165 --> 23:44.785 [SPEAKER_00]: Ha, ha, ha. 23:47.632 --> 23:51.935 [SPEAKER_02]: She was very generous to a lot of charities people didn't know that. 23:52.795 --> 23:54.036 [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm happy. 23:54.616 --> 23:56.818 [SPEAKER_02]: She really died happy. 23:57.898 --> 24:00.780 [SPEAKER_02]: She died happy with her kids. 24:01.701 --> 24:04.822 [SPEAKER_02]: She became a grandma, with her daughter. 24:05.663 --> 24:10.646 [SPEAKER_02]: So it's those kind of things when you get to know somebody that early on. 24:11.346 --> 24:13.187 [SPEAKER_02]: And she really wanted to get married. 24:18.192 --> 24:22.475 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he said they went out, often on for 15 to 17 years. 24:22.956 --> 24:23.596 [SPEAKER_00]: Why not? 24:24.557 --> 24:25.497 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I didn't know that. 24:25.878 --> 24:32.402 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, in her, well, the one thing, she died of cancer, is that right? 24:32.422 --> 24:36.705 [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't get the autopsy yet. 24:37.486 --> 24:38.046 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay. 24:38.447 --> 24:39.327 [SPEAKER_01]: I was saying that. 24:39.968 --> 24:45.352 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's just something I'd read, but like you say, it's on the Internet, but I always, 24:46.105 --> 24:49.346 [SPEAKER_00]: When I think of her, I think of someone always in turtleneck. 24:49.386 --> 24:58.650 [SPEAKER_00]: So I had a different shirt on, but I did run and change, and I thought, I always wondered why she always wore turtleneck, but she had a history of skin cancer, it said. 24:59.330 --> 25:10.675 [SPEAKER_00]: And I just thought she was so cute and always, so classy and kind of quirky and... And those hats and little hats and glasses and, you know, that hair. 25:11.788 --> 25:27.591 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, um, the last thing last movie I think I saw her in was called Palm's, where she was living in a like an old book home, it's been a while since I saw it, but she got all these older ladies. 25:27.791 --> 25:28.832 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I do remember now. 25:28.872 --> 25:29.552 [SPEAKER_00]: It's coming to me. 25:29.932 --> 25:33.273 [SPEAKER_00]: Got all these older ladies that started this little dancing, 25:36.009 --> 25:37.350 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's what the movie was about. 25:37.390 --> 25:50.843 [SPEAKER_00]: She got all these ladies in this nursing home to to be cheerleaders and these ladies are dancing grandma's and they I saw them at the Phoenix Sun's basketball game. 25:51.223 --> 25:53.986 [SPEAKER_00]: They go out there and do the dances at halftime and stop. 25:54.546 --> 26:06.629 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's the cutest show I absolutely loved it, and then at the end of the movie it shows the real live ladies, and I have seen the real live ladies in in Phoenix at the Phoenix Dance Festival. 26:06.649 --> 26:09.070 [SPEAKER_02]: We started to group a women. 26:09.810 --> 26:10.150 [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. 26:10.550 --> 26:12.590 [SPEAKER_00]: Poms, POMS is darling. 26:12.670 --> 26:14.871 [SPEAKER_00]: It's only a couple of, well, I don't know, probably. 26:16.131 --> 26:16.491 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know. 26:16.511 --> 26:18.332 [SPEAKER_00]: I think I've watched it since I'd moved here. 26:18.352 --> 26:19.472 [SPEAKER_00]: I've been here four years. 26:19.512 --> 26:22.633 [SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's about how old it was, but it was the cutest show. 26:23.650 --> 26:26.491 [SPEAKER_00]: But I just have always liked her as an actress. 26:26.531 --> 26:36.155 [SPEAKER_00]: I find that she's so funny and I'm sad to see that she's passed away because I've seen her in so many different things. 26:36.235 --> 26:37.795 [SPEAKER_00]: And she's been great in everything. 26:37.995 --> 26:40.296 [SPEAKER_00]: First wife's club, you know. 26:40.316 --> 26:41.316 [SPEAKER_02]: I thought that was great. 26:41.517 --> 26:42.837 [SPEAKER_02]: That was a fun movie also. 26:43.317 --> 26:43.677 [SPEAKER_00]: Right. 26:44.158 --> 26:46.678 [SPEAKER_02]: I remember what was the movie that she was in? 26:46.698 --> 26:50.200 [SPEAKER_02]: And what was a great actor to 26:52.286 --> 26:54.448 [SPEAKER_02]: They were staying in the same house. 26:55.048 --> 26:55.349 [SPEAKER_00]: Right. 26:55.549 --> 26:57.150 [SPEAKER_00]: I've been trying to think of that one. 26:57.190 --> 26:59.011 [SPEAKER_00]: Was it wasn't it with Keanu Reeves? 26:59.952 --> 27:00.312 [SPEAKER_02]: No. 27:00.733 --> 27:01.774 [SPEAKER_00]: A Gat Nicholson? 27:02.074 --> 27:02.954 [SPEAKER_02]: Jack Nicholson. 27:03.295 --> 27:03.835 [SPEAKER_02]: That's right. 27:04.115 --> 27:05.496 [SPEAKER_02]: And he saw it in the nude. 27:05.897 --> 27:06.657 [SPEAKER_00]: Right. 27:08.199 --> 27:10.120 [SPEAKER_02]: I thought that was one of the greatest scenes. 27:10.180 --> 27:10.901 [SPEAKER_02]: What is that? 27:10.941 --> 27:11.321 [SPEAKER_02]: Look it up. 27:11.421 --> 27:12.882 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to look it up right now. 27:13.302 --> 27:15.684 [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, yeah, I was trying to think of that, too. 27:15.764 --> 27:16.325 [SPEAKER_00]: That's funny. 27:17.327 --> 27:20.028 [SPEAKER_02]: and she basically playing a prude. 27:20.548 --> 27:21.988 [SPEAKER_02]: Some things gotta give. 27:22.808 --> 27:23.228 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 27:23.728 --> 27:26.389 [SPEAKER_02]: You know what the interesting thing most people didn't know, I knew it. 27:27.189 --> 27:29.750 [SPEAKER_02]: But she had a complex about her body, you know. 27:31.150 --> 27:31.890 [SPEAKER_00]: We all do. 27:32.570 --> 27:34.751 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I don't know about that, but I'm saying. 27:35.331 --> 27:39.612 [SPEAKER_02]: She, she was very bottom-heavy and wide. 27:40.760 --> 27:42.921 [SPEAKER_02]: That's why she always wore those jackets. 27:43.641 --> 27:47.922 [SPEAKER_02]: Everything you see, she wanted your attention to go to her face and head. 27:48.462 --> 28:00.166 [SPEAKER_02]: So the hats, the glasses, the hairdo's, and if you'll never see her just for the sheer dress of someone, it's always with a jacket and the jacket to always flaring out. 28:01.226 --> 28:04.047 [SPEAKER_00]: Wow, see if they're quite corrective clothing. 28:04.527 --> 28:05.047 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no. 28:05.107 --> 28:07.027 [SPEAKER_00]: I know how to hide the bad spot. 28:09.450 --> 28:09.930 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah. 28:10.090 --> 28:12.772 [SPEAKER_00]: And that is the movie that Keanu Reeves was in, too. 28:12.972 --> 28:14.193 [SPEAKER_00]: And just hilarious. 28:14.773 --> 28:22.037 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, she just is, I had forgotten about that scene where she was naked, but I just thought, oh, what a funny show. 28:22.117 --> 28:22.878 [SPEAKER_02]: We didn't see her. 28:23.398 --> 28:26.860 [SPEAKER_00]: It was right, right, where they, yeah, they blurred it out. 28:27.120 --> 28:31.143 [SPEAKER_02]: That's when, well, I'm sure she had it in a contract, you're not shooting it. 28:31.183 --> 28:32.884 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's so funny. 28:33.264 --> 28:36.826 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, she's, I was trying to see how many movies she had been in. 28:36.846 --> 28:37.666 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, 28:39.597 --> 28:40.657 [SPEAKER_00]: I was trying to read this. 28:40.717 --> 28:44.858 [SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't sure, it's got so many different things. 28:44.938 --> 28:50.479 [SPEAKER_00]: The one thing I read, I thought it said 291, but I don't know if I got that number. 28:50.579 -->
